What can I wear with my Buck outback hat?

Weekends, markets, and everyday casual

Keep it easy: a plain tee, jeans, and boots. The hat's the hero, so the rest can stay simple.

Camping, fishing, and campfire nights

Team it with tough shorts, a flanno, and a jacket once it drops cold. If you’re in and out of the swag, the crushable build is handy - pack it away, then pull it back into shape.

Travelling and road trips

Chuck it on with chinos or casual pants and a lightweight overshirt. It’s a good “one hat” option when you don’t want to baby your gear.
 

FAQs

How do I clean it?

Start with a soft brush to lift dust. For marks, use a slightly damp cloth and gentle dabbing - don’t soak it or scrub it.

Is it a good choice for hot weather?

Wool felt can still work in the heat, but it’s best for changeable conditions - sun, wind, and cooler mornings. For peak summer humidity, a lighter straw-style hat can feel breezier.

How should I store it so it keeps its shape?

Store it on a shelf (upside down on the crown) or on a hook so the brim doesn't flatten. If you pack it for travel, don’t leave it crushed longer than necessary - give it a quick reshape when you unpack it.
