Have you ever asked yourself, “Which hat will give me serious sun protection and great style in the Aussie sun?” Enter the Avenel Hats Men’s Bryce Wide Brim Harvester Hat - a strong contender for your go-to outdoor headwear.
 

The Bryce Harvester is built around a rush-woven straw body, using harvested natural fibres that deliver strength, flexibility and breathability. Its weave is tight, yet it allows airflow to help keep you cool.

Where and What Can I Wear With my Bryce Hat?
 

Casual outdoors

Pair it with faded denim or cargo shorts, and a breathable cotton tee or chambray shirt or dress.
 

Farm or rural use

Combine it with work jeans, a checked flannel shirt and work boots.
 

Beach or creek days

Shorts are the go, with a loose shirt or tank, and slip-on sandals or thongs.
 

Festival or camping

Go with distressed jeans or boardies, a graphic tee, and boots.
 

Smart-casual summer

Try chinos, a cotton shirt, and cruisers or hilos; Bryce's wide brim adds an intentional outdoorsy contrast.
 

The neutral “natural” straw colour works with most earthy tones — olive, tan, navy, cream — while the green under-brim helps cut glare.
 

FAQs
 

How do I work out what size I need for my Bryce Hat?

To start with, you establish your size as per your head measurement. Measure the circumference around your head - approximately 12mm (1/2") above your ears. Keep the dressmaker tape level and firm, and keep it across the temple and above the eyebrow ridges. For in-between measurements, select the next size up.
 

Is the Bryce Harvester Hat good for hot weather?

Yes. The straw weave lets air circulate, keeping your head cool. The cotton sweatband and inner lining also help wick moisture away on warm days.
 

Can I wear it in the rain?

Light drizzle is fine, but it’s not a wet-weather hat. Straw can lose its shape if soaked. Let it air dry naturally if it gets damp - never use heat or direct sun to accerate drying.
