2055 Squashy Goat

A soft, lightweight goat leather outback hat

The 2055 Squashy Goat is a foldable outback hat made from premium full-grain goat leather and handcrafted in Minnesota, USA. Pick it up and the first thing you notice is the weight, or the lack of it. Goat leather is extremely soft, thin and light.

“The white goat skin is very soft and makes for a very nice summer hat.”rfrenzl, verified review

That softness is why it works so well in warm weather. A thin hide doesn’t sit heavy on your head, and it moves with you instead of feeling stiff. The leather is water resistant and the hat has 50+ UV protection, so it handles a sunny hike in the canyons or a long day in the garden. Full-grain means the outer grain layer of the hide is kept, which is what gives the surface its natural texture.

It comes in three colors: Cognac, Pearl and Gold.

It folds into the travel bag that comes with it. Tuck it in a tote or a carry-on and it’s ready when you land.

A free Hat Sizing Kit is included. Measure your head with a soft tape, match it to the leather hat chart from Small to XXLarge, and use the two foam strips under the sweatband to fine-tune the fit. If you measure between sizes, go up one and use the strips to get it just right. To care for it, air dry it at room temperature away from heaters after rain and condition the leather now and then. The leather hat guide compares goat with our other leathers, and the Squashy collection has the rest of the foldable styles.
