Big Jim's Bush Hat

Big Jim's Full-Grain Leather Australian Hat UPF 50+ - Kakadu

An authentic Australian bush hat, made in Australia from durable full-grain cowhide leather.

With its adventurous look and impressive 9 cm brim, the Big Jim's by Kakadu is a true Australian hat designed for lovers of wide-open spaces.

Made in Australia, this hat combines full-grain cowhide leather, UPF 50+ sun protection, and a wide, protective brim. A hat with character, designed for travel and outdoor activities as well as everyday Australian bush style.

Big Jim's hat by Kakadu: the spirit of the Australian bush

The Big Jim's features the hallmarks of an Australian hat: a classic crown, a wide brim, braided leather trim, and sturdy construction.

Its approximately 9 cm brim is one of its main strengths. Wider than the brim on many classic traveler hats, it gives the hat a striking look while providing more shade for the face and back of the neck.

Its approximately 8.5 cm crown maintains a balanced, distinctly Australian silhouette.

Genuine full-grain cowhide leather

Kakadu makes the Big Jim's from full-grain cowhide leather. This grade of leather retains the hide’s natural outer layer and is known for its strength and durability.

The leather’s grain, variations in color, and small natural irregularities add to its authenticity. Each hat may therefore vary slightly, making every one unique.

Over time and through many adventures, the leather may develop a natural patina that adds even more character to the hat.

UPF 50+ sun protection

The Big Jim's offers UPF 50+ sun protection.

Together with its wide 9 cm brim, this feature makes it particularly well suited to outdoor activities: hiking, travel, gardening, horseback riding, fishing, walking, or simply spending long days outside.

A true adventure hat combining style, protection, and durability.

Designed for the outdoors

The Big Jim's does more than look good. Kakadu has equipped it with several details that come in especially handy outdoors:

• ventilation eyelets that promote airflow;
• braided trim that enhances its bush style;
• metal Kakadu badge;
• provision for a chin strap, handy when conditions get windy;
• wide 9 cm brim offering generous coverage;
• UPF 50+ protection.
