One of the most popular styles in the Barmah range, the Squashy Kangaroo Hat is made from extremely soft, pliable and lightweight kangaroo leather - the toughest leather in the world pound for pound and the reason it is used in motorcycle leathers. They are ideal for travelling as they are lightweight and they fold down into the free calico travel bag provided.

The hats come up on the small side and we encourage people to wear a hat as loose as they can possibly get away with without the hat falling off your head. To get a good fit, measure the circumference of your head, one inch above your eyebrows, in a comfortable fit (i.e. not too loose and not too tight - as you would like the hat to feel on your head) and then select a size. If you fall in between sizes we recommend to go for the size up, so for example a 58cm head measurement, we would suggest a Large 59cm hat.

The original hat-in-a-bag

Made in Australia using Australian kangaroo leather. All kangaroo hides are obtained under the Australian Federal Government's Wildlife Protection Act.

Marks and scratches on the leather hats are considered a natural feature as they are made with naturally scarred leather from free-roaming cattle or wild kangaroos.

To get the most out of your Barmah hat, we recommend using our specially formulated "Barmah Hat Waterproofing Spray". As the name suggests, the spray helps to repel water away from the leather, therefore helping to keep you dry. The spray also works as a leather conditioner so will help keep the leather soft and supple. Never use a heat source to dry your leather products as this can lead to cracking and drying. Instead, allow time for natural air drying.
