What can I wear with my Avenel Safari Hat?
Casual weekend or outdoors
Linen shirts and shorts are great when the heat is on! Add comfy walking shoes if you're up for a bush walk. The natural colour pairs well with neutrals, greens, browns and denim.
Easygoing town days
Match the hat with straight-fit jeans, a tee or polo, and a light jacket. Clean, simple and practical sun protection.
Travel or long driving days
Wear it with lightweight trousers and a breathable button-up. Slip-on shoes will keep things comfortable. The hat keeps sun glare down without feeling heavy.
Outdoor gatherings or casual events
Pair it with a collared shirt, dark jeans or chinos, and boots. A simple leather belt ties the outfit together, and the hat adds a relaxed, outdoorsy touch.
FAQs
How do I know what size I need?
To establish your size as per your head measurement, measure the circumference around your head - approximately 12mm (1/2") above your ears. Keep the dressmaker tape level and firm, and keep it across your temple and above your eyebrow ridges. You want a close fit, but not so firm that the band leaves a mark on your forehead when you have worn your hat for a period of time. If you're trying your hat on instore, and you have a choice of a size that is a bit too firm, but the next size is a bit too loose, we recommend selecting the larger size. The Chase comes in sizes S (55-56cm), M (57cm), L (58-59cm) and XL (60-61cm).
Is the brim wide enough for sun protection?
Yes. The 6.5 cm brim gives decent shade without being bulky. A practical choice for bright Aussie conditions.
Is the linen blend actually cooler to wear?
Absolutely. Linen breathes far better than synthetic fabrics, so it’s well suited to hot weather or humid days.
How do I clean it?
Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dust or marks. Don’t soak it. If it gets wet, let it air dry away from heaters or direct sun so the crown keeps its shape.
Is Avenel an Australian brand?
Yes. Avenel is Melbourne-based and is Australian family owned. They have been designing hats for the Aussie climate for decades. Working with specialist manufacturing partners all over the world, they achieve premium quality construction for every type of fibre they use - from various animal fur felts to cotton, straw, palm and paper.
