Hat guides from Barmah: sizing, leather and outback styles
We’ve been making outback hats for over 30 years, and most hat questions come down to a few things. What size do I need? Which leather should I pick? What’s a drover hat, anyway?
These guides answer them the way we would on the phone. Start with whichever one fits your question.
Our guides
Leather hat guide
Kangaroo, bison, goat, deer, boar, cattle leather and suede each wear differently. Here’s how they compare and how to look after a leather hat.
How to measure your hat size
Measure your head with a tape or a string, then read your size off our leather, canvas and VE charts. Between sizes? The free sizing kit takes care of it.
What is a drover hat?
Where the Australian outback hat got its name, how it differs from a cowboy hat, and how our canvas drovers compare.
Packable travel hats
Most of our styles fold into an included travel bag. These are the ones to take on the road.
Christmas gift guide
Hats sorted by budget and by the person you’re shopping for, plus small gifts for the stocking.
