Collection: Cruelty-Free Wool Hats
There’s nothing quite like a 100% wool hat. It’s supremely soft and comfortable, while remaining durable and ready for use in nearly any season. Our wool hats are UPF 50+ for ultimate skin protection. Want wool hats with brims? Need boho styles? If you’re looking for a versatile hat that can be worn in any situation, look no further than one of our expertly crafted cruelty-free wool hats.
To create the world’s first cruelty-free wool hat, we first had to go back to our supply chain and make sure we only use wool from farms in Australia that do not practice Mulesing, then track that specific wool from our distributor in China to our factory. Each shipment is certified Non-Mulesed wool and all parties, including the sheep, are very happy with the results. Mulesing is the removal of chunks of skin on the buttocks of the sheep to stop a disease called Flystrike. Over 20 million Merino lambs are Mulesed in Australia each year.
Hopefully by educating people on this topic, Australia might consider the alternatives to this cruel practice. There isn’t really much of an increase in costs in the finished hat, it’s just a process that most manufacturers couldn’t be bothered to undertake or perhaps didn’t know existed. We encourage other hat manufacturers and wool users to consider a change. It took us approximately two years to sort out the details and luckily there are more and more Australian farms with a holistic approach to sheep farming so more non-Mulesed wool is available now.

Let customers speak for us
from 3991 reviewsI live in England and received my BC bush hat as a Christmas gift well over 30 years ago and it is still going strong! I still wear it all the time, it has been all over the world with me and in July 2024 finally made its back to Oz. It is comfortable to wear, great at keeping the sun off my face and is timeless in its simplicity and style. I love my BC hat will be leaving instructions to be buried in it!

As a “bald guy” I’ve purchased many wide brimmed hats and this is one of the best summer hats I own. Light weight and breathable is the name of the game for summer hats and this one has it in spades! Looks great too! You won’t be disappointed!

Hat is high quality and functionally awesome for keeping the sun off you. Head stays cool with the vents at the top of the hat and it is very comfortable.
I had some stitching come out from the inside of the headband and their customer service was fast, responsive and got me a replacement.

I originally purchased the Jackeroo model in a large size. The hat was much too large for me so, I exchanged it for a medium size Tambourine model. I opted for a pickup of the exchange. It was wirth the $8.90 fee. The hat was picked up late Thursday evening afternoon and I received the new hat on the Monday morning. I truly love the Tambourine! The quality is superb! This level of customer service is rare and much appreciated! Conner Hat Company, is a first rate company of which puts customer service first. I will be back soon. Thank you Conner People!

I've had mine for a couple of years now. It's a daily wear. I've hit my head on stuff that rattled my teeth but the hat had kept me from cuts or knots on my head. I love this hat. No more ball caps for me. I can wipe it off and wear it to church. It cleans up nice. I sat on it one day and thought I'd ruined it. Absolutely not! It's like it never happened. I could go on and on but it'd be redundant to everything everyone else has said. They are superior. I bought a second one before I moved back to Texas from Georgia where I got it thinking I wanted to make sure and had one when this one went bad. But I don't know how long that will take.
I highly recommend this hat. It's the Down Under Leather hat.
