The classic Australian outback hat with a wide sunny brim, rich golden cream colour and a leather hatband. One of the reasons Panama hats are so practical is that they breathe. They absorb moisture from your head, wick it into the straw, where it is blown away and cooled by the wind. It cools your head down and dries itself out. Relaxed and friendly, The Australian is perfect for hot days out in the sun.
If you like the Australian - look up the Traveller as well - it's nice.
