    Match Your Hat to Use

    Start with the silhouette you want. Outback and Aussie styles such as the Jackeroo, Indy, or Crossroads suit outdoor and western-inspired wardrobes, while the Detroit Fedora, Buster Wool Fedora, and Arizona Gambler offer a more structured profile. For softer lines, consider the Bird and Feather Wool, Mt. Warning Wool Boho, or Rockaway Beach Wool Hat styles. A bowler, newsboy cap, beret, or top hat gives the collection a more specific fashion direction.

    Check the individual product listing for the available size rather than assuming One Size will fit. The collection includes Small through XX-Large as well as One Size options. For changing weather or travel, look for product descriptions identifying crushable or water-resistant features. Follow the care guidance supplied with your selected hat.

    What Makes Our Winter Hats Different

    Temperature-Regulating Wool Performance
    Wool keeps insulating when wet and dries faster than cotton. Our wool hats maintain warmth even when damp.

    Non-mulesed Wool
    Every winter hat uses non-mulesed Australian wool. We source non-mulesed wool, and our factory buys RWS (Responsible Wool Standard) wool.

    Family-Owned Craftsmanship
    Will Conner started learning hat making as a kid in his dad's factory in Byron Bay, Australia, and created the Conner Hats brand. Each hat is handmade with techniques passed down through generations, combining traditional craftsmanship with carefully chosen materials.

    Our Operations
    Our original St. Augustine warehouse runs on 100% solar power (orders now ship from American Fork, Utah), and we use packaging free of single-use plastics, made from biodegradable and recyclable materials. We still maintain our company food forest at the site and have created a hub there for other small businesses to use the location. We've eliminated single-use plastics from our supply chain and use organic cotton in the inner bands of many hats in this collection.

    FAQs

    Wool hats are comfortable at temperatures from 25-40°F. Wool maintains warmth even when damp because wool fibers contain millions of air pockets that trap warm air. For extreme cold below 25°F, layer with a wool beanie underneath or choose our water-resistant wool styles like the Quincy Water Resistant Wool Gambler.

    Our Australian wool is non-mulesed, and our factory buys Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) wool. All our wool is non-mulesed.

    Yes. Our crushable styles (Jackeroo, Indy, Crossroads, Aussie Wool Crusher) are specifically designed to be packed without losing shape. Roll them loosely, place in your luggage, and they'll spring back when unpacked. Non-crushable styles like the bowler or top hat should be carried or shipped separately to maintain their structured shape.

    Brush with a soft hat brush after each wear to remove dust and maintain the nap. For spot cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap. For deep cleaning, professional hat cleaning is recommended once per season. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Never machine wash or dry. Wool naturally resists odors and doesn't require frequent washing.

    Outback hats (Jackeroo, Indy, Crossroads) feature wider brims (3-3.5 inches), higher crowns, and rugged styling suited for outdoor activities and casual wear. Fedoras (Detroit, Buster, Mumford) have narrower brims (2-2.5 inches), lower crowns, and refined details like grosgrain bands—better suited for urban and formal settings. Both provide equivalent warmth.

After 12 months, a replacement is available at 40% off; shipping is not included. Material degradation from use is eligible for a 30% off code. If your hat is lost or stolen, you can get 50% off the same hat; shipping is not included. Damage from accidents or improper care is not covered.
