newjez Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 My old bush hat is getting a bit worn. Looking for a replacement. Isn't there a squashable leather hat on the market? Thought that might travel better. Anyone recommend one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booma Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 There's a few. Akubra, RM Williams and Drizabone all make good ones. My husband only buys from those 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlight7 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Sometimes they have good ones in country markets too ( a bit cheaper). Eumendi is good if you are ever up that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouDYorkie Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I think they might sell them at Carrara too if you are near Gold Coast at all. They were a lot cheaper than tourist shops but can’t remember the brands.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richev Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 As an alternative to leather, Tilley make a great range of hats in a variety of fabrics. I've had one of their hemp hats for about eight years and it's still going strong, and has weathered pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
