Built from buffalo hide, the Echuca hat is real traditional Australian styling. With a slight oiling to keep it pliable, the more you beat it, the more you will like it as it takes on its own unique personality. We don't usually wear a chin strap on these hats but we have set up a place to put one if you want. Also comes with our round braided hat band, triple eyelets for air flow, and our own unique internal sweat band.
