Match Your Hat to Use

Start with the silhouette you want. Outback and Aussie styles such as the Flinders, Jackeroo, Indy, or Jasper suit outdoor and western-inspired wardrobes, while the Detroit Fedora, Leroy Fedora, and Arizona Gambler offer a more structured profile. For softer lines, consider the Allison Floppy, Mt. Warning Boho, or Rockaway Beach 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, packable, water-resistant, or waterproof features. Follow the care guidance supplied with your selected hat.

What Makes Our Winter Hats Different

Temperature-Regulating Wool Performance
Wool fibers contain millions of air pockets that trap warm air, and wool generates heat through hygroscopic heating—releasing approximately 533 calories per gram of water vapor absorbed. Unlike synthetic materials, our wool hats maintain warmth even when damp and naturally regulate temperature to prevent overheating.

Responsibly sourced Sourcing
Every winter hat uses wool from farms in Australia and New Zealand that enforce strict standards for humane treatment and are committed to no mulesing. We work with suppliers certified under the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS), which requires humane treatment and prohibits mulesing.

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 sustainable materials.

Climate-Positive Operations
Our original St. Augustine warehouse runs on 100% solar power, we use water-soluble biodegradable garment bags, and ship in biodegradable packaging. 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 sustainable materials like organic cotton, hemp, and recycled polyester in our hat accessories.

FAQs

Wool hats with 80-100% wool content comfortably protect in 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 waterproof wool styles like the Quincy Gambler.

Our wool comes exclusively from farms in Australia and New Zealand that enforce strict standards for humane treatment and prohibit mulesing—a painful practice of cutting skin from sheep. We source from suppliers certified under the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS), which requires humane treatment, no mulesing, and traceable supply chains. All our wool is non-mulesed.

Most wool hats are water-resistant but not fully waterproof. Wool maintains thermal efficiency even when holding moisture up to 30% of its weight. For heavy rain or snow, we recommend the Quincy Waterproof Wool Gambler or the Crossroads Crushable Wool Hat, both treated for enhanced water resistance.

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.

Yes. Conner Hats are warranted to the original owner against manufacturing defects under our limited lifetime guarantee. If a hat ever fails due to a manufacturing defect or faulty materials, we will replace it. This covers stitching failures, band separation, and material defects—but not damage from normal wear, accidents, or improper care.

Weather features are product specific. The collection includes named examples such as the Quincy Water Resistant Wool Gambler and Jasper Outback Waterproof Wool Hat, while other styles are described as crushable or packable. Read the individual listing to confirm the feature of the hat you want.
