HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEAD

Kakadu hats - or Mates as we often call them - come in all shapes and sizes so you're sure to find a Mate that suits you.

But first things first, lets determine your correct size. Remember you want comfortably firm

Kakadu hats - how to measure your head

Wrap a tape measure or a piece of string (if you use string, you'll need a ruler as well) around your head so that it is above your eyebrows and about 1cm / half and inch above your ears. No need to pull too tight - remember you want your hat to be comfy!
Follow the size guide below to help determine your size.
There are some slight variations in size depending on the fabric used for the hat - thicker materials mean the hat fit will be a bit tighter and thin fabrics a bit touch looser

BELT SIZE GUIDE

Step 1: Decide Where You Wear Your Belt

Think about whether your belt will sit on your hips or waist. This will affect the size you need, as these areas might differ in size.

Step 2: Measure an Existing Belt

If you have a belt that fits well, lay it on a flat surface. Measure from the point where the buckle meets the leather to the hole middle belt hole. This gives you your belt length.

Step 3: Measure Your Body

Wrap the measuring tape around your waist or hips where your belt would normally sit. Make sure the tape is snug but not too tight and that it’s parallel to the floor for accuracy.

Material & Care

Poly-Suede

Soaka hats are made from specially made poly-suede which is a durable synthetic fiber known for its resilience and ease of care. It has been constructed to be highly durable, quick-drying, and resistant to shrinking and stretching, making it ideal for hats

Care

Machine washable in cold/warm water with a mild detergent for washing; do not tumble dry.
Hang dry or lay flat in the shade. If necessary, use a hairdryer to remove creases caused by squashing or incorrect storage.
Avoid leaving your hat in a hot car.
A good rule of thumb is - if it's too hot to touch, then it's too hot for your hat!

False review made up from my complaint

I wrote a complaining letter to Kakadu saying my hat was too big and not the same as I had had before. They have taken this email and turned it into a review I do not support and that implied that I am happy with my purchase; I am not !

They have not responded to my email; simply plagiarised it into a review; now I am seriously unhappy.

Come on guys, be good. Respond to my email to you and let’s fix this situation.

Kakadu Men's Hat

First had one of these great hats about 15yrs ago and loved it so much thought I'd order another one as my old one had worn through
I ordered the same style and size as my previous one but even though they both say Large I think the new one is slightly bigger which is a shame as it makes the fit on my head a little too loose..The service and postage from Australia to England was faultless
All in all very happy with my hat and the service provided by Kakadu
