About this piece

Crafted by the esteemed Australian brand and made in the USA here in Minnesota. Using the same waxed canvas that is used for our packs not only enhances the hat's resilience against the elements but also develops a rich patina over time, telling the story of countless journeys. Barmah Waxed Canvas Hats seamlessly blend heritage craftsmanship with contemporary flair, offering a perfect balance of practicality and fashion for those who appreciate both style and substance in their outdoor gear.
