The authentic Australian outback hat is a working tool that happens to look exceptional. This waxed canvas version from Novella Hats carries the original specification: thick canvas body, UPF 40+ sun protection, a braided leather band at the crown base, and a chin strap that keeps the hat on the head when the wind picks up. Built to work before it was built to impress.

The 10cm high crown provides ventilation in heat and gives the hat its characteristic height. The brim provides broad protective coverage across the face and neck. The waxed canvas surface handles full waterproofing conditions without the stiffness or weight of leather, which means it sits more comfortably in heat than a leather alternative would.

Available in black, brown, and olive across sizes 55 to 61cm. The waxed canvas construction develops a natural weathering character with outdoor use that adds to the hat's working appearance over time.

Novella Hats has sold over 10,000 hats with a Trustpilot Great rating. At $44.99 with free US shipping on qualifying orders, the waxed canvas outback hat delivers the full Australian outdoor specification.
