Australian Outback Hats
Australian Outback Hats
Handmade in Australia by B.C. Hats, a family owned company dedicated to quality, service, and original Australian hats.
The Bushwalker hat is made from genuine steer hide and has a lower crown which gives it a comfortable snug fit. The brim is wide enough to offer excellent protection from the elements.
BC leather hats are individually skilfully crafted from specially tanned top grade hides. All seams have been glued to increase water resistance. Single needle, double stitched construction is used where necessary for extra strength. Each hat will develop its own individual shape and character with wear - it is not meant to stay in one particular shape.
The slouch hat was frequently worn throughout Africa and in motion pictures about Africa such as Jungle Jim and safari films.
Australian Outback Hats
Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel regard the slouch hat as a parade item of dress, and although army standing orders for dress allow it to be worn in the field, most soldiers do not, as it is almost a disgrace to allow it to get unnecessarily dirty. The Australian slouch hat (also know as a Hat KFF, or Hat Khaki Fur Felt) is worn with a seven band puggaree, said to represent the six states and the territories of Australia. For the Army, the hat includes the soldiers' Unit Colour Patch (right of puggaree), Corp or Regiment Hat badge (front of puggaree) and the General Service Badge (The Rising Sun, affixed on the left brim) on both the Grade 1 and Grade 2 Slouch Hats. When on ceremonial parades, e.g. ANZAC Day, the Slouch Hat is worn with the brim up (Grade 1), showing the General Service Badge on the left side. However when the soldier's dress of the day is either DPCU's or Polys, then they wear the hat with the brim flat.
