Coming soon - Wombat Adelaide microfibre boots

Based on the success of the Alice Boots, we at Wombat Leather have decided to introduce another microfibre style to our range of boots this autumn. Just like the Wombat Alice boots, the Wombat Adelaide boots, which will be arriving in a few weeks time, feature a hardwearing sole, a reinforced heel and a silky soft faux fur lining. They can be worn up or rolled down (as seen above) and come in a Wombat branded dust bag to keep them clean when you are not wearing them.

The Wombat Adelaide boots are now available to pre-order for £28.99 at D2D imports.

Get ahead with a Wombat hat

Summer is finally upon us and while you’re daintily sipping cream tea on the lawn (or hiking through the Cornish hills with a tent on your back) spare a thought for the top of your head. An often forgotten and neglected part of the anatomy when it comes to protecting yourself from the sun, it can be very easy to call an abrupt end to your holiday because of sunstroke or sunburn.

The top of your head is very delicate and your scalp very susceptible to sunburn since suncream is quite difficult to apply over your hair. Not only that, but too much time in the sun with an uncovered head can lead to sunstroke which causes headache, dehydration and sickness. Fortunately, there is an easy way to protect your head from the sun and what’s even better, it’s fashionable too! Here is your guide to buying a sun hat this summer.

Go Australian! Australian bush hats have been a real hit this spring, with trendsetters like the new Duchess of Cornwall showing them off, and now’s the time to make the most of one! Wombat hats are made from quality leather and are durable, versatile and uber-stylish.

Choose something with a wide brim that will protect your shoulders and neck from the sun as well. It’s very easy to neglect areas that your hair normally covers when applying suncream but a wide-brimmed hat will offer even better protection.

Match your hat to your head shape. It’s often said that hats suit some people more than others, but really it’s just a matter of getting the right style to suit your face. If you’ve got a high forehead, consider a wide-brimmed hat that comes to just above your eyes. If you’ve got a long, thin face with high cheekbones, a cap can be very flattering, whereas a rounder face will suit a smaller brimmed hat.

Whatever you do this summer, enjoy the good weather without hassle by getting ahead with a hat. Find Wombat hats and many more at Just4Leather.

Treat your dad to a Wombat Hat this Fathers' Day

Choosing the perfect present for dads can sometimes be really tricky. Whilst many men dream of receiving a sports car or a flashy widescreen TV, not all of us have such deep pockets and so end up giving our beloved fathers bog standard gifts like ties and socks that are often just shoved into a drawer and forgetten about. But if you want to give your dad something really special for Father’s Day this year, something that will he will actually enjoy and make good use of but that you can still afford, a leather bush hat is a great option.

Wombat Leather bush hats are ideal for men who love the outdoors. Whether they enjoy hunting, fishing, hiking, gardening or simply walking the dog, a leather bush hat will keep them comfortable come rain or shine. Leather bush hats are designed for extreme conditions such as the South African bush or Australian outback but are just as effective in changeable climes such as in the UK. The wide brim keeps the sun off the wearer’s face as well as rain in a downpour.

Whatever your dad's personal style, we'll have something for him. Wombat Leather hats come in a range of different styles and leathers. Choose from cowboy or classic shaped brims and light and dark full grain and suede leathers.

Where to get Pippa Middleton’s australian leather bush hat

It’s generally well known that Kate Middleton is a fan of the leather bush hat but did you know that Pippa Middleton is too? The younger sister of the Duchess of Cambridge, famed for her perfectly-formed bottom, is seen here with a group of friends, also partial to an aussie bush hat, presumably out on a hunt.

Pippa's hat is a soft suede hat in a light brown colour. The nearest model we have is the oiled suede leather hat in stone (£29.99). To view the full range of Wombat Leather bush hats please visit Just4Leather or D2D.
