Weekend or ute-muster ready

FAQs

What’s the best way to clean and care for my Fender hat?

Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust. If you get it wet, let it air dry naturally - don’t try to speed up drying with heat or direct sun. Store it on a hat rack, in a hat box, or upside down on it's crown to keep the brim and crown shape intact.

How do I know what size to get?

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.

Will the Fender suit both ute-wear and town outfits?

Yes. Its neutral colours and classic shape make it versatile - from working on the property to heading out for drinks or a country gig. It balances practicality with style well.
