Leather bush and safari hats always confused me. They are promoted as worn in Africa and Australia, especially its outback.
Obviously, these are torrid locations, and having owned and worn a leather hat briefly, I agree with Loungers who
remark that such hats are hot themselves and do become heavy. So I often wondered if such leather and suede hats, although
stylish, are targeted to capture the fantasy of the veldt or Alice Springs versus the reality. I have family in Sydney. They laughed
when I asked about these types of toppers. "For tourists" was the response.
