What can I wear with my Concho Western Hat?
Casual country or weekend wear
Pair the hat with denim jeans or shorts and a country or western shirt. Add leather boots and a belt with a western buckle. A light denim jacket or vest works great too. The hat finishes off the outfit with that western-country vibe.
Festival or ute muster vibe
Try a denim skirt or dress, perhaps with floral or country prints. A light vest or jacket layers well. Boots and the Concho hat give just enough western flair to stand out - comfortable enough for a long day.
Hot/weathered outdoor work or riding
The palm-leaf build keeps it cooler than wool or felt. Wear it with sturdy pants (like moleskins or work denim), long-sleeve shirt, work boots. Maybe add a scarf or neckerchief for dust or sun protection if you’re riding or working outdoors.
Casual town look
Dress it down with fitted jeans or chinos, a simple shirt or tee, and leather boots or casual shoes. The hat becomes the statement piece - subtle but telling.
FAQs
Is the palm-leaf material good for summer / hot weather?
Yes. The natural palm-leaf weave breathes well and stays cooler than felt or heavy materials - ideal for hot Australian summers or long days outdoors.
How do I clean my Concho Hat if it gets dirty or wet?
Wipe gently with a damp (not wet) cloth to remove dust or light dirt. If it does get wet, let it air dry naturally - don’t leave it in direct heat. Avoid harsh cleaners.
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. 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.
If you order your hat online and you find it is too firm fitting, do not expect it to 'loosen up'. It will not. Contact our friendly mailroom staff for assistance.
