Sizing

I've looked at the sizing chart, but I'm still not sure what size to order. What should I do if I think I'm between sizes?

People come in all shapes and sizes - that's what makes us all unique! But, if after looking at the sizing chart you're still unsure what size you are, please feel free to email our office at sales@kakadutraders.com.au - otherwise we recommend the following:
  • For vests, jackets and coats, the best thing to do get the next size up. As these items are designed to be worn over other clothes, slightly bigger means that you can layer up and still be comfortable. It also guarantees a full range of motion which is really what you want!

  • For shirts, follow our size charts as best as you can - more than likely your concern will be focused on sleeve length vs chest and really this is your call. For over shirts we recommend that you choose based on chest size and for regular shirts, your best bet is to follow sleeve length - that is unless your looking at a short sleeve shirt!

  • For pants, it is definitely to do with waist size. Choose the size that goes follows your waist measurement - if the leg length is too long it is easy to get it taken up. If the leg length is too short then your best bet would be to get the next size up.

  • Hats - definitely better to go a bit larger if you're feeling unsure. It is easy to add a little extra padding than stretching a hat out! 

Ordering 

Will I get an order confirmation?
Of course! As soon as you place an order, you will receive an email to the address you entered confirming your purchase. Occasionally these emails end up in the spam folder so please check there if you do not receive any notifications within a few hours of your order. Please email sales@kakadutraders.com.au if you still can't find it after checking spam.

Will I get tracking information for my order?
It usually takes one business day to process and pack your order, and once it leaves the warehouse you will receive an email with a tracking number or confirmation of shipping so that you can look out for your gear.

KAKADU ORIGINS

Richard and his wife Catherine Whillas first constructed their own oilskin cloth using a 'wringer mangler' and a combination of oils and waxes found on the local land. Known for its functionality and durability, this cloth was ideal to protect their family and wharf equipment against the harsh artic winds as they manned the Cappe Jaffa lighthouse.

Eventually parts of the family would go onto manufacture outerwear garments and hats for Australians and later, as word spread, worldwide. It was during this time that "Kakadu Traders Australia" would become a brand, synonymous with quality, comfort, and durability.

50 years on and still under the watchful eyes of the Whillas family, Kakadu Traders Australia supplies tough, reliable products worldwide. Strong canvas, refined oils & waxes and rugged cowhide are amongst the raw materials that give our products the guts to get the job done time & time again.
