Why a Kangaroo Leather Chinstrap? The unique attributes of Kangaroo leather make it ideal for crafting a thin, soft, strong chinstrap to help keep your hat from being gone with the wind.
1/2 The Weight … Kangaroo is ½ the weight of a comparable Cow Hide. Making your Chinstrap lighter and more comfortable.
Twice the Strength … Kangaroo is Twice the strength of a comparable Cow Hide, which means you can count on your chinstrap when the wind blows hard.
Up to 3 Times the Wear Life … Pound for Pound, or Ounce for Ounce in this case, Kangaroo Leather is the strongest leather in the world. You plan to wear your Jacaru hat for years to come, and this chinstrap will keep it on your head.
Responsibly & Sustainably Sourced to Conserve a National Treasure. The Kangaroo is the symbol of Australia. Not an endangered species, high-reproduction rates and a lack of natural predators can lead to over population, exhaustion of food supplies, starvation, disease, and mass death in a mob (“herd”). Threatening the very survival of these amazing creatures. To sustain strong, healthy Kangaroo populations, Australia has instituted a strict, federally controlled, culling program. It is from this conservation program that Jacaru legally and responsibly sources the finest leather from which to craft their luxurious leather goods.
You will see and feel the expert craftmanship. The Jacaru collection includes a wide range of Hats and accessories. The expert leather workers of Jacaru:
- Start with only the finest materials.

SIZING NOTE: Cape Woolamai does not stock the “Med/Lrg” size hats. We find that most people for whom a Medium is too snug, and a Large is a little loose, they are better served by using a Hat Reducer to properly fit the larger hat. Minor fluctuations in hair style, weight, and even temperature can impact the fit of your hat. A removable Hat Reducer offers more flexibility to comfortably adjust to Life’s changes.
ORDERING NOTE: Use a flexible tape to measure your head as illustrated here. Include your measurement in the Special Instructions block on the Shipping Page and our Packing Team will strive to find the hat which will best fit you.
 AUSSIE HAT STYLES | |
| Fedora, Top Hat, Bowler, Beret, Panama, or Western Hat most people who know anything about hats can visualize these styles, who typically wears them, and where they are worn. Identifying Australian Hat Styles is a little more loosely defined. Cape Woolamai Mercantile Co.® categorizes our Authentic Aussie Hats based on the following criteria, to help you find the right style for your purposes. Cheers Mate! | |
| Cattleman | More Dress than Working Hat. Crafted from Premium Materials, it can often (but not always) feature a creased Crown and a decorative Hatband. Often featuring a Wide to X-Wide Brim, and a Medium to Tall Crown. The Owner of the Ranch may wear a Cattleman, while the Ranch Hands are wearing a Stockman or Traveller. |
| Stockman | A hat that is not afraid of hard day’s work. Typically crafted from Top Grade Materials, and more Functional than Decorative in styling. Typically features a Wide to X-Wide Brim, and Medium to Tall Crown. Crafted to stand up to rugged everyday wear. |
| Traveller | A durable hat designed to wear lighter, and be more packable. Crafted from High Quality to Top Grade Materials, with a focus on Functional styling, a Traveller will typically feature a solid Brim, Crown & Stand, which can be foldable or squashable/packable. A Medium to X-Wide Brim and Low to Medium Crown provides protection in all conditions. |
| Bush | The Bush Hat Style draws its name from the characteristics of the Australian Outback. Typically, a Stockman Hat with added ventilation to help you best the heat. A Medium to X-Wide Brim helps provide Sun protection. A Medium to Tall Crown gives the heat room to rise until it can be vented out. |
| Cap | Caps typically have little to no Brim, and wear low on the head. Baseball Caps, vented Trucker Caps, Driving Caps, and Scully’s are all common examples of Caps. |
| Slouch | Best known for the ANZAC Military Hat. A Slouch Hat is typically crafted from Top- to Premium Quality materials (often Felt), featuring a creased Crown and Stand, with the Left side of the brim pinned up. |
| Specialty | Fascinators, Bucket Hats, Floppy Sun Hats, “Crushable”, and “Soaker” Hats are just a few examples of Specialty Hats. Specialty Hats of the kinds listed here are commonly meant to be worn for limited purposes, and a limited amount of time. They are typically not meant to provide the functional flexibility, wear life, or Sun protection provided by other styles. |
