One of the top-selling designs in the Barmah collection is the Squashy Kangaroo Leather Hat. Made from highly flexible and lightweight kangaroo leather, known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and commonly used in motorcycle attire, this hat is perfect for travel and easily folds into the complimentary calico travel bag included.

The hats come up on the small side and we encourage people to wear a hat as loose as they can possibly get away with without the hat falling off your head. To get a good fit, measure the circumference of your head, one inch above your eyebrows, in a comfortable fit (i.e. not too loose and not too tight - as you would like the hat to feel on your head) and then select a size. If you fall in between sizes we recommend to go for the size up, so for example a 58cm head measurement, we would suggest a Large 59cm hat.

The original hat-in-a-bag

Made in Australia using Australian kangaroo leather. All kangaroo hides are obtained under the Australian Federal Government's Wildlife Protection Act.

Marks and scratches on the leather hats are considered a natural feature as they are made with naturally scarred leather from free-roaming cattle or wild kangaroos.

To get the most out of your Barmah hat, we recommend using our specially formulated "Barmah Hat Waterproofing Spray". As the name suggests, the spray helps to repel water away from the leather, therefore helping to keep you dry. The spray also works as a leather conditioner so will help keep the leather soft and supple. Never use a heat source to dry your leather products as this can lead to cracking and drying. Instead, allow time for natural air drying.
