Understanding the Roo
There are over 100 different species of kangaroo in Australia, none of which can be farmed, and with the larger herds consisting predominantly of the Reds and Greys. The government permits only licensed hunters under strict supervision to cull these herds and only in overpopulated areas. Kangaroo leather is renowned for its tensile strength and ultra lightweight. As all kangaroos are from the wild, scarring on the leather is characteristic.
CARING FOR YOUR LEATHER HAT
- Brush off surface dirt using a soft brush or wipe with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
- Occasionally rub in a quality leather dressing which will keep the leather pliable.
- Ensure that the leather is not subjected to extreme heat.
