Welcome
About our hats...
Handmade in Madagascar, each hat is lovingly hand made and shaped in the timeless French capeline silhouette.
Our uniquely contoured crown means one size fits all— with no nasty interior hat band, no heaviness, no pressure marks on your forehead—just an easy, secure, beautifully comfortable fit.
Woven from breathable natural raffia, it weighs under 135 g, and feels feather-light. If it gets wet from pool water or sea spray—simply shake it dry and give it a quick press with a warm iron to restore its shape.
Who is behind Big On Hats?
My name is Samantha MacNally - and I grew up in Queensland, Australia with freckles, pale skin and an Irish heritage. I always valued the benefits of big hats. Plus, my Dad was a doctor and was always reminding us to take care of our skin - because of the threat of skin cancer -so my siblings and I were always protected with big hats.
Now based in Sydney, Australia - when you buy a hat from Big On Hats - you are supporting an Australian business who distributes from Sydney, Australia.

Lightweight, tough, and handbag-friendly—this is your anywhere, anytime, outdoor essential.
