Carpentaria Wool Felt Croc Hat

Description
Carpentaria Wool Felt Hat
The Carpentaria Hat is made for days that start with heat already in the air. Dense Australian wool felt holds its shape as the sun climbs, the wide brim cutting glare without asking to be adjusted. UPF 50+ protection is part of the felt itself, built for exposure rather than display.
Mornings begin near Darwin Port, coffee taken standing while boats idle and the air stays heavy. The wool breathes better than expected as humidity sets in. A lined inner band keeps the fit settled as hours pass. The crocodile leather band with teeth is not decoration. It is tension. A reminder that this hat comes from the north, not a shop window.
By midday it’s worn out fishing, shade negotiated rather than found. Later, damper torn open and eaten slowly, sweat drying as the light softens. Finished with a cold Balter XPA when the day finally loosens its grip. The hat stays on. It always does.
