The black waxed canvas outback hat is the version for the person who wants the full functional spec of the Australian outback hat without the earth tones. Black waxed canvas has a sheen to it that brown and olive do not, which gives the hat a slightly harder visual character without changing anything about the construction or the performance.
Thick waxed canvas throughout with UPF 40+ sun protection, a 10cm crown, a braided leather band, and a functional chin strap for wind and active outdoor conditions. Sized 55 to 61cm in three colour options. The waterproofing is full rather than surface-only, which means rain does not find a way through with sustained exposure.
Available in black alongside brown and olive. The black version reads as the most versatile for urban outdoor contexts where a brown or olive hat might feel too specifically rural for the occasion.
