Customer reviews
Possibly the only hat you will ever need
I bought this model hat (1018) in 2005, whilst on honeymoon in Australia.
Now some 19 years later, it is still going strong.
It has travelled with me wherever I go.
At it is light and squashable, as the name implies it slips easily into the inside pocket of my suitcase.
It has been high in the Rockies and has also proved invaluable protection from torrential rain storms in the tropics, as well as here at home in the UK.... Don't leave home without one ☺️

The Advert is very good Verified Purchase
Very well made and really good fit I wear it all the time and buy another one

I really like this hat.
It looks good and is very comfortable. It’s so light that I can almost forget I’m wearing it. So, why only four stars? Because with extremely high winds so frequently this hat and so many others really do need chinstraps! I have added one.

Not the same hat as the Barmah 1018 Verified Purchase
While this looks like and is labeled as a Barmah Squashy Crackle Kangaroo Brown Leather Hat - 1018. it is not the same as the hat when ordered from Australia - The top of the hat is higher and the hat band is different - - Picture attached is a genuine Squashy Crackle Kangaroo Brown Leather Hat - 1018 - This make me doubt this is a genuine Barmah -
