The Coolabah Hat

This hat is so Australian, it’s even mentioned in “Waltzing Matilda”. An easy to wear style, the Coolabah is a real head turner – with its signature saltwater crocodile hat band, each one is unique.

The Coolabah has a 79mm brim, with a cut edge. The inner is satin lined, with a supple leather sweatband, embossed in gold with the Akubra name.

As with all Akubra hats, the Coolabah is hand-crafted in Australia and takes six weeks to make, using traditional, old-school processes which have changed little in 140 years. Made from 100% rabbit felt fur, all Akubra hats are water resistant and offer the ultimate in sun protection.

The Coolabah is available from us in two colours – you’ll be whistling waltzing Matilda the moment you put it on!

PAYMENT

Our online payment platform uses a Opayo (formerly Sagepay) Gateway and uses both Worldpay and PayPal methods of payment. We accept VISA, VISA Debit, MasterCard and MAESTRO (MasterCard Debit) via either Worldpay or PayPal and with PayPal can accepts funds from your PayPal account too. In all online payments none of the card details are forwarded on to us. We are not able to add charges after the transactions has been completed, So if additions are to be made, like adding another item or upgrading postage, please telephone as soon as possibe after placing the order to arrange this.

The Worldpay Payment in the Opayo Gateway requires the Biling address corresponds to the card being used. It does this by making sure the House Number (if one exists) and Post Code correspond to where the card is registered. If there seems to be a difficuty in processing the payment, there being a n issue with the Biling Address can often be the cause. Make sure the Post Code is correct and in some cases if the Biling Address has both a House Name and House Number, excluding the House Name from the Biling Address may allow the payment to go through. All of these systems are processed before we even receive your order and we have no imput or say in how they are processed.

Refunds
I we process a refund from an online purchace we can only refund via the method of purchace. As we did not receive the payment details in the first place we could not even if asked to, refund via another method. Rather we would instruct either Opayo or PayPal to refund either fully or partially depeding on the circumstances.

Obviously we need to give them Name and Address but in the case of courier we need to provide Phone and Email so they can inform of delivery times.

All our couriers do not share this information or pass it on and work within the rules of Data Protection under the terms of the Information Commissioner's Office.
