What can you wear with your Dusty Trails Western Hat?
 

Ranch day or outdoor work

Bootcut denim always works. Something like bootcut jeans and a long-sleeve country shirt. Add your favourite boots and a belt, and you’re sorted for a practical setup that still looks the part.

Weekend casual / ute muster / country concert

Pair the hat with moleskin pants like classic moleskins and a western-style shirt keeps the look relaxed but still country. Throw on your favourite boots and you're good for long days and late nights.

Festival or casual summer days

A skirt or simple dress paired with the hat gives an easy country vibe. You can browse options like skirts & dresses. The wide brim also helps with sun protection while keeping the outfit light.

FAQs
 

Is the hat adjustable or shapeable?

Yes - the wire in the brim lets you tweak the shape. You can go flatter or more curved depending on the look you want.

Does it handle hot sunny weather well?

The paper braid construction makes it breathable, and the wide brim helps with shade. It’s a good pick for hot summer days.

How do I care for it?

Keep it dry, brush off dust, and store it somewhere it won’t get crushed. Avoid heavy rain and don’t reshape it while wet.

What size should I choose?

It comes in M (57cm) and L (59cm). 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. For in-between measurements, select the next size up. For example, if your head measurement is 58.2cm, you would choose a size 59 hat. 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.
