Classic Australian bush-hat style

The rich navy colour complements the natural surroundings, making it a fitting choice for countryside walks, woodland adventures, camping holidays and outdoor pursuits. Its timeless design also works well for everyday wear, whether paired with a waxed jacket, a casual coat or your favourite outdoor layers.

The waxed cotton fabric gives the hat its distinctive appearance and practical character. With a finish that suits the outdoors, it offers an alternative to conventional fabric hats while retaining a relaxed, versatile style.

Whether you're exploring the countryside or heading into town, this bush hat brings a touch of adventure to your everyday look.

Waxed cotton for changing weather

Made from 100% waxed cotton, The Wilderness is designed with outdoor practicality in mind.

The waxed surface helps repel water, making the hat suitable for light rain and passing showers. This water-repellent finish is especially useful when the weather changes unexpectedly during a walk, a day of sightseeing or a weekend away.

The fabric also has a distinctive textured appearance that complements the hat's traditional outdoor styling. Its practical design makes it a useful option across different seasons, from summer walks to cooler-weather outings when paired with suitable outdoor clothing.

Please note that water-repellent does not mean fully waterproof. For prolonged or heavy rainfall, additional weather protection may be needed.

UPF 50+ sun protection

When spending time outdoors, a good hat can be an important part of your sun-protection routine.

The Wilderness is specified as offering UPF 50+ protection, helping reduce the amount of ultraviolet radiation transmitted through the protected fabric. Its brim also provides physical coverage around the head and face.

This makes it a useful accessory for walking, hiking, travelling, camping and other outdoor activities during sunny weather.

For the best protection, continue to use sunscreen on exposed skin, suitable clothing and shade when needed. Sun protection depends on the product's tested specification and how the hat is worn.

A shape you can make your own

One of the distinctive features of this bush hat is its durable wire brim.

The wire construction allows you to shape the brim to suit your personal preference. Wear it with a more traditional, gently curved profile or adjust the edges to create a look that feels right for your outdoor style.

This practical detail adds versatility while helping the hat retain its character as part of your everyday outdoor wardrobe.

The classic bush-hat silhouette looks equally at home on countryside walks, during travel adventures or as part of a relaxed everyday outfit.

Lightweight and foldable for travel

Designed for people who enjoy exploring, The Wilderness is lightweight and foldable, making it convenient to take along on trips and outdoor excursions.

Pack it with your walking essentials for a weekend away, keep it ready for a countryside adventure or take it on holiday as a practical alternative to more structured headwear.

Its versatile design makes it suitable for a range of activities, including:

• Hiking and countryside walks

• Camping and outdoor holidays

• Trekking and exploring trails

• Travel and sightseeing

• Hunting and other outdoor pursuits

• Everyday casual wear

• Outdoor adventures throughout the year

When packing your hat, handle it gently and reshape the wire brim as needed after unpacking.

Designed for men and women

With its understated navy colour and timeless outdoor styling, The Wilderness is designed to suit both men and women.

Its versatile appearance makes it easy to pair with outdoor clothing, including jackets, gilets, walking trousers, boots and casual layers. Whether you favour traditional country style or practical contemporary outdoor wear, this hat adds a distinctive finishing touch.

It is an excellent choice for anyone who values useful accessories that combine classic design with practical features.
