Description

Wangaratta Leather Hat

Morning comes hard and dry on the edge of the Simpson Desert. Heat builds early. The Wangaratta goes on before the sun clears the horizon and stays there as the ground starts to shimmer. Air moves through the mesh crown, just enough to keep the head clear while the miles stack up.

By late afternoon the track fades and the Toyota Hilux idles while boots hit sand. There is no rush. Sweat dries fast. The brim throws shade where it counts and the leather holds its shape without asking for attention. When the light finally drops, a small fire gets coaxed into life and a cup of tea is held between dusty hands while the kettle rattles itself empty. Simple food. Quiet ground. No need to move fast.

Later, eyes lift toward the sky and distance gives way to stillness. The hat comes off last.

Built for heat, long days, and places that do not offer cover on request.

Style #: 23H13

Material & Care

Full Grain Leather 

Highest quality bovine leather retaining the complete grain layer. It features the most strength and durability of all leather types, displaying natural textures and uncorrected imperfections that enhance its aesthetic

Care
  • Do not wash or dry clean – brush off dirt with a soft brush or wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  • Periodically apply leather conditioners to maintain flexibility and prevent drying out.
  • Avoid leaving leather goods in a hot car where the high temperatures may affect the quality and finish of the leather.
  • A good rule of thumb is - if it's too hot to touch, then it's too hot for your hat!

Baldies beware!

If you are bald, like me, your skull shines through the mesh netting like a reflective dome. It’s not a good look. Too bad, it’s a beautifully made hat.
