Australian Made Earmuff Compatible Hat with Optional Flap
Our Australian Made Newcastle Hats Earmuff Hats are made right here in WA and are one of our favourite hats! They’re available in just about any size, colour and option. We make these Earmuff Hats for gardeners, shooters, councils and of course, everyday people looking to add some sun protection to their noisy activities.
Newcastle Hats Earmuff Hats are available in 3 types. Standard UPF 50+, breeze/mesh, or super versatile micro-mesh. We’ll explain the differences below.
Our Newcastle Hats Earmuff Hat in Standard UPF 50+ form means the top of the hat and the brim is covered in double-sided UPF 50+ rated cotton drill which is bonded on to an open-cell foam laminate. The gusset is made from a single layer of cotton drill and is entirely lined with terry-towelling which is great for sweat absorbtion. That means you get a super comfortable, versatile, bendable and squashable hat that will give you years of use. Add a neck flap for even more protection!
The Earmuff Hat in breeze/mesh is the same as above but with a mesh gusset. This mesh gusset is not rated for any UPF protection, however, the rest of the hat is made from the same UPF 50+ material as our standard version. The mesh is made from a shade cloth type material, it allows for heat to disperse from within the hat and the cool breeze to flow in. There is also a piece of terry-towelling sewn into the front of the gusset to allow some sweat absorption for your forehead.
The Earmuff Hat Micro-Mesh is the same as our standard hat but it’s fitted with a single layer of UPF 50+ rated micro-mesh on the gusset instead of double-sided cotton drill. This makes the hat even more squashable, making it ideal for flat packing into a bag. The micro-mesh is lined entirely with terry-towelling for excellent sweat absorption. This hat tends to be slightly cooler to wear than our standard version up the top.
Options
Our Earmuff Hats can be fully customised with an impressive list of options.
MEDIUM BRIM 7CM (+$0.00)
Bring your hat brim size down from 9cm (standard) to 7cm. Great for golfers who need a little more visibility when taking a swing.
LARGE BRIM 9CM (+$0.00 STANDARD BRIM SIZE)
Newcastle Hats are typically made with a 9cm brim unless otherwise stated. This is a great size brim, suitable for all applications.
EXTRA LARGE BRIM 11CM (+$3.00)
Transform your regular 9cm brim into this extra-large 11cm brim. Great for those who need a little more sun protection.
CHIN STRAP AND TOGGLE (+$4.00)
Add a colour matching chin strap and toggle to your hat. Perfect for those windy days, you can also wear it in the “up” position. We’ll make sure to send it our this way so you can see how easy it is to tuck out of the way.
HAT LINING (+$3.50 SPECIAL ORDER ONLY, PLEASE CONTACT.)
A hat lining offers additional sun protection to hats that have a mesh breeze gusset fitted. Mesh breeze gussets can let out a lot of heat built up in the hat, as well as cool air in when the wind is blowing. However, the mesh breeze gusset is not UV rated and can let in harmful UV. To combat this, when buying a Newcastle Hat in mesh breeze form, you can have a thin hat lining sewn in behind the mesh which will offer some sun protection for those who prefer this style of hat.
ELASTIC (+$3.50 SPECIAL ORDER ONLY, PLEASE CONTACT.)
Elastic is added to the base of the gusset to help reduce the size of a hat. If you measure your head and find that your measurement is in between two of the sizes on offer, try ordering the larger size and add this option. This will help pull the hat down in size, hopefully offering you a great fit.
SEWN-ON 30CM NECK FLAP (+$7.00)
Add a 30cm neck flap to your hat for even more sun protection. This can be added to any brim size! These 30cm neck flaps are sewn on during production and are not UPF rated, however, still provide great sun protection.
PRESS STUD REMOVABLE NECK FLAP (+$14.00)
The same 30cm neck flap as above, however, this one is secured using three press studs, making it removable for your convenience. This is the ultimate hat option!
SEWN-ON REFLECTIVE BAND (+$10.00 SPECIAL ORDER ONLY, PLEASE CONTACT.)
Reflective bands turn your normal Newcastle Hat into a highly noticeable work hat. Ideal if you wear high visibility clothing as part of your uniform. Available in orange, lime or white, these bands are sewn into the bottom of the gusset and cover the entire perimeter of the hat.
REMOVABLE REFLECTIVE BAND (+$10.00 SPECIAL ORDER ONLY, PLEASE CONTACT.)
