Barmah Hats: The Ultimate Adventure Companion
When it comes to versatile, durable, and stylish headwear, Barmah Hats stand out as a true icon of outdoor adventure. Whether you're hiking rugged trails, exploring outback landscapes, or simply soaking up the sun in your backyard, these Australian-made hats have earned their reputation for being the perfect blend of function and fashion. We currently stock three styles of Barmah Hats in-store and online at Jobsons of Alnwick. They're unisex and come with a great dust bag, and they're collapsible too so they will pack small into your suitcase.
A Proud Aussie Legacy
Barmah Hats were born in the heart of Australia, where harsh weather and rugged terrains demand gear that can stand the test of time. We love family owned businesses and the company is proudly Australian-owned and operated, with a commitment to producing high-quality hats that reflect the adventurous Aussie spirit.
The name Barmah comes from a region in northern Victoria, home to the stunning Barmah National Park, known for its vast wetlands and iconic red gum forests. This heritage is reflected in the design and durability of the hats, which embody a connection to nature and the outdoors.
Why Choose Barmah Hats?
1. Unbeatable Durability
Barmah Hats are crafted to endure. Made from premium materials like kangaroo leather, cowhide, and suede, these hats are designed to last through years of wear and tear. Kangaroo leather, in particular, is renowned for being lightweight yet incredibly strong, making it a popular choice for adventurers seeking reliable headwear.
2. Crushable & Packable Design
One of the standout features of Barmah Hats is their crushable design. These hats are easy to fold and pack without losing their shape, making them perfect for travel. Simply flatten the hat, pack it in your bag, and when you're ready to wear it again, it springs back to life.
3. Weather Resistance
Barmah Hats are built for the great outdoors. Many styles are water-resistant, offering protection during unexpected rain showers, and their wide brims provide excellent UV protection, shielding your face and neck from the harsh sun.
4. Timeless Style
Barmah Hats are more than just functional—they’re stylish too! With classic outback-inspired designs, these hats pair effortlessly with both outdoor gear and casual attire. Whether you're trekking through the bush or strolling through a farmer’s market, a Barmah Hat ensures you look the part.
5. Eco-Friendly Manufacturing
The use of kangaroo leather isn’t just practical—it’s sustainable. Kangaroos are abundant in Australia, and their leather is considered one of the most eco-friendly materials in the fashion industry. Barmah Hats' commitment to sustainability ensures you can feel good about your purchase.

And always store it in its cloth bag to prevent it from getting marked or scratched when not in use.
