What a great hat and company. The hat is a replacement for the same hat I wore for 10 yrs and unfortunately lost recently in a trip. This hat is exactly the same build quality and feels like I never lost the original. Australian gear was super communicative (I live in the states) when the package seemed to stall for nearly 10 days. Very friendly and responsive!
In general, the hat is wonderful. I’ve had Barmah hats before. The only aspect I don’t care for is the light leather underside of the brim. I prefer the older style where it was just the underside of the brim leather.
