What can I wear with my Avenel Lariat Hat?
 

Casual country errands

Rock some classic denim jeans and a tucked-in country chambray shirt. Add a leather belt and boots - the wide brim balances the jeans-and-shirt combo nicely.

Festival or outdoor gig night

Throw a denim jacket over a graphic tee or a simple western-style top. Pair with fitted jeans or a denim skirt. The Lariat gives the look some edge.

Hot summer days

Go for light-coloured linen - trousers, shorts, shirts or a dress - and some cruisers or hilos. The wide brim will help keep sun off your face and neck while you’re out and about.

Dress it up a bit

Match the hat with a dark denim shirt, dark jeans or moleskins, and a leather belt with a feature buckle. Great for a casual night out or country-style dinner. The Lariat will give your outfit that authentic western look.

 

FAQs
 

Does the Lariat hat suit both men and women?

Yes - the shape and style of the Lariat works well for both men and women. It’s a classic western hat that’s versatile enough for everyone!

Is the hat weather-resistant?

Because of its palm leaf build the Lariat is light, offers good ventilation and holds up well in sun and dust - useful for outdoor work or long days in the paddock. It will handle light rain, but heavy downpours are best avoided.

How should I care for the hat?

Use a soft-bristle brush or damp cloth to gently remove dust or dirt. If you do get your Lariat wet, let it air-dry naturally - don't try to accelerate the drying process with heat or sun. Store it on a hat stand or upside down on it's crown to help preserve the crown shape and brim integrity.

Does it provide sun protection?

Yes - the wide brim helps shield your face and neck from sun. That makes it suitable for hot Aussie conditions and long hours outdoors.
