This Black Hat is a unique idea from BC Hats that has brought the classic Australian phrase, "no worries mate!" to life. The hip pack provides a hands free way of carrying your hat. This Outback hat is made of a softer leather that has been treated with waxes and oils to guard against the elements. The brim has been reinforced with a flexible wire. When your hat is needed, it will spring from your pouch and be ready to wear! The uv pritection this hat offers makes this an excellent choice for the fisherman, golfer, hiker and all that enjoy the great outdoors
