The Avenel Oakridge Weathered Safari Hat is a tough everyday hat made for real use - not just show. The weathered cotton feels broken-in from day one, the distressed dark brown finish gives it that classic outback look, and the brim gives decent shade when you're out in the paddock, on the road, or wandering around town.
It’s light, breathable and holds its shape well, so you can throw it on for farm work, weekend jobs, camping trips or a quick duck into town. A simple chin tie keeps it in place on windy days, and the soft inner sweatband makes it comfy for long wear.
Easygoing style, no nonsense, and reliable in the sun - it’s a handy bit of kit to keep on hand.

What can I wear with my Oakridge Safari Hat?
Farm work or yard jobs
Easy combo: denim or jeans, a half-button shirt or a plain tee, and your go-to work boots. The wide brim gives handy shade when you’re out with the stock or running between sheds.
Casual weekend or ute run
Grab shorts or moleskin pants and a light cotton shirt. Add a simple leather belt and you're sorted. The weathered finish works with pretty much anything — it’s not precious and it hides dust well.
Outdoor events or day in town
Match it with dark jeans or chinos, a clean button-up or polo, and a jacket if it’s cool. A neutral hat like this works with casual shirts and keeps things relaxed without looking sloppy.
FAQs
How do I know what size to get in the Oakridge Hat?
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 Oakridge come in sizes S (55-56cm), M (57cm), L (58-59cm), XL (60-61cm) and 2XL (62cm).
Is it good in hot weather?
Yes. Weathered cotton stays breathable and doesn’t get stuffy, even on warm days. The brim gives decent shade without feeling heavy.
How do I clean it?
Use a soft brush or damp cloth. Don’t throw it through the wash. If it gets soaked, let it dry naturally — no heaters or hot sun, or the cotton may warp.
Is it OK for everyday wear?
For sure. It's built for outdoor use but looks good enough for casual day-to-day wear.
