    Find Your Best Hat

    Start with the setting and silhouette. For western character, compare the straw Silver Dollar Saloon, Tennessee Whisky, and Walk The Line with wool options such as the Hat Bar Rancher or American Cowboy. For a lighter, natural look, consider the Avalon Toyo Straw Fedora, Aspen Vented Toyo Straw Hat, or a raffia style such as the Billings or Bozeman. The Koala Lover Cap offers a familiar baseball-cap shape, while the Tambourine and Uluru suit an outback-inspired look. Check the individual product listing for its material, shape, and available sizes. Measure your head and match the result to that listing’s size guidance; adjustable and one-size options can offer additional flexibility. Care should follow the instructions for the specific material and product, since straw, wool, raffia, cotton, and oilskin or waxed cotton should not automatically be treated alike.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Our new arrivals include recently released styles and seasonal additions to our handmade hat collection. Current new styles include the Renegade Australian Wool Hat, Cowboy Country Straw Hat, American Cowboy Hat, and several raffia cowboy styles. We add new designs throughout the year based on seasonal needs, customer feedback, and innovations in sustainable materials. Each hat is handmade with the same quality standards we've maintained since founder Will Conner established the brand, following over 50 years of hatmaking by his father Bill Conner in Byron Bay, Australia.

    Our new arrivals feature Australian wool, organic raffia, Bangora straw, toyo and paper straw, palm straw, waxed cotton, and recycled polyester. All materials are selected to deliver durability and comfort.

    Pricing varies by material and style, and the current price is shown on each product page. Every Conner hat is handmade and carries a Limited Lifetime Guarantee against manufacturing defects. US orders over $79 ship free. If your hat is ever lost or stolen, you can use a 50% off code to replace the same hat.

    Most Conner hats offer shade. Wide-brim styles provide shade for your face, neck, ears, and upper back. Many of our hats are UPF rated; check each product page for its rating.

    Yes. Each Conner Hat is crafted with handmade care in small-batch production, ensuring quality and attention to detail. Our founder Will Conner learned hatmaking in his father Bill's Byron Bay factory, where BC Hats created Australia's original leather hat with a shapeable brim. Our Supplier Code of Conduct requires suppliers to pay fair wages. Handmade construction means each hat receives individual attention during cutting, shaping, stitching, and finishing—resulting in better fit, durability, and craftsmanship than mass-produced alternatives.

    The Limited Lifetime Guarantee applies to purchases from connerhats.com. For a workmanship failure within the first 12 months, we provide a free replacement of the same style, size, and color, including shipping. After 12 months, you can get 40% off a replacement, with shipping not included. Material degradation from use qualifies for a 30% off code. If your hat is lost or stolen, you can get 50% off the same hat, with shipping not included.

    Choose straw (like raffia) for temperatures above 70°F. These styles are lightweight, breathable, and allow airflow, making them ideal for summer, beach, golf, and gardening. Choose felt or wool for cooler weather and year-round wear. They are water-resistant, provide insulation, and maintain shape in varied conditions. Leather works for both warm and cool weather but runs warmer in summer heat. Consider your primary use: for outdoor activities, wide-brim straw and raffia styles can provide shade and ventilation. Many of our hats are UPF rated; check each product page. For western style or durability in rugged conditions, wool and felt provide structure and weather resistance.

    Most styles are available in Small (21 1/4-21 5/8 inches / 54-55 cm), Medium (22-22 3/8 inches / 56-57 cm), Large (22 3/4-23 1/4 inches / 58-59 cm), X-Large (23 1/2-24 inches / 60-61 cm), XX-Large (24 3/8-24 3/4 inches / 62-63 cm), and XXX-Large (25 1/8 inches / 64 cm). Some styles offer S/M, L/XL, or adjustable sizing with drawstrings or elastic bands. To measure your head, place a flexible tape measure around your head a quarter of an inch above the ear, across the forehead. Buy a hat that fits snug around the head. Hats expand with heat from your head and will loosen to conform to your shape. If you're between sizes, size down for styles with adjustable features, size up for fixed sizing. Two free size inserts ship with every order.

    Begin with the cowboy and western styles in the collection. Straw options include the Silver Dollar Saloon, Tennessee Whisky, Walk The Line, Cowboy Country, and Cheyenne Roper. For a wool alternative, compare the Hat Bar Rancher, Austin Cattleman, American Cowboy, or Stagecoach Australian Wool Cowboy Hat.

    Use the care guidance supplied with the specific product, because this collection combines straw, raffia, wool, cotton, and oilskin or waxed cotton. Avoid assuming that one cleaning or storage method works for every material. If you are unsure, check the listing or contact Conner Hats before cleaning or treating the hat.
