Avenel Hats for Every Head in the Family

Avenel hats have been a staple of the Australian country wardrobe for decades. The range covers men's, women's, Western, and children's styles, all made with an understanding of what Australian conditions actually demand from a hat. From broad brims for sun protection to close-fitting styles for colder months, Avenel has the right hat for every head in the family.

An Original Australian Hat Brand

Avenel Hats is an Australian brand with a history built on crafting headwear for people who actually work outdoors. Named after the Victorian country town, Avenel brings a genuinely local perspective to hat-making: an understanding of Australian conditions, Australian head shapes, and the styles that have worked in this country for generations. It's a brand built from the inside of Australian country life.

Avenel Men's Hats

The Avenel men's hat range covers the styles that country men actually reach for: felt hats for the colder months and show days, straw and lightweight styles for hot outdoor work, and wide-brim options that take the edge off the Australian sun during a full day on the property. 

Sizing and fit run to practical standards suited to working men, with construction that holds up to the conditions rather than giving up after a season. A good Avenel men's hat is the kind of piece that gets worn every day and improves with it.

Avenel Women's Hats

The Avenel women's hat range brings the same country practicality to styles designed for women, with a broader palette of options that balance sun protection and outdoor performance with a flair suited to show days and social occasions. 

Felt styles hold their shape through cold weather and rain, while lighter options cover warm-weather work and events without weighing you down. Avenel women's hats are designed to be worn properly, not just carried, and the range reflects that in every choice of brim, crown, and finish.

Avenel Western and Children's Hats

The Avenel Western hat range focuses on the classic styles associated with Australian country and rodeo culture: high crowns, wide brims, and the kind of silhouette that needs no introduction at a show or a camp draft. Quality felt construction and period-correct details make these hats genuinely special rather than decorative approximations. 

For younger heads, the Avenel children's hat range brings the same construction quality and Australian sun protection to smaller sizes, with styles that mirror the adult range so the whole family can turn out properly dressed.

Frequently asked questions

What types of hats does Avenel make?

Avenel produces a range of quality hats including wide-brim felt hats, crushable travel hats, straw hats, and bucket styles. Their range covers traditional country and outdoor hats as well as more contemporary styles. Avenel hats are a popular choice at Allingtons for customers seeking quality headwear at a great price point.

Are Avenel hats made in Australia?

Avenel is an Australian-owned brand, though their hats are manufactured overseas. Despite not being locally made, Avenel maintains strong quality standards across their range, and their hats are well-regarded in the Australian country and outdoor market for their longevity and value.

What makes Avenel hats a good option for everyday country wear?

Avenel hats offer a great balance of quality, style, and value. They're well-constructed from sturdy materials and designed to handle Australian conditions. Many Avenel styles are crushable and packable, making them convenient for travel and outdoor activities. They also come at a more accessible price point than some premium brands, making them an excellent entry point for quality country headwear.

What styles and brim widths are available in the Avenel hat range?

The Avenel range includes wide-brim styles for maximum sun protection, mid-brim hats for a more versatile everyday look, and crushable styles for travel. Brim widths vary across the range from standard to wide. Avenel offers options in felt, straw, and synthetic materials, so there's a style for every season and occasion.

How do I choose the right size Avenel hat?

Measure your head circumference about 1cm above your ears and eyebrows, then compare with the Avenel sizing chart. A key advantage of Avenel hats is that their sweatbands are made from a high-quality synthetic material, which means they will not shrink like the leather sweatbands found in some other brands. This means you should choose the size that feels comfortable right away - it won't change over time. The hat should sit just above your brow and should not rest on the tips of your ears.

How do I care for an Avenel hat?

Brush felt Avenel hats regularly with a soft hat brush to remove dust and dirt. Store on a hat rack or in a hat box to maintain the shape. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat and direct sunlight. If the hat gets wet, let it dry naturally at room temperature. Straw Avenel hats can be wiped with a damp cloth to clean. With proper care, Avenel hats will maintain their shape and quality for years.
