All things Aussie and the Australian-inspired Outback was an essential part of fashion in the 1990's. The LiteFelt® invented by Bollman Hat Company in 1987 revolutionized the hat industry during this time of economic prosperity and the number one shape was the Outback. This shape topped off a fashion trend that included long duster coats as the "down under" look and attitude grew in scope and popularity.
Bollman produced some 6,000,000 LiteFelt ® hats in the 1990's providing the world with fashion, function and fun! The LiteFelt® is water repellent, shape retentive and conforms to the wearer's head making it functional and extremely comfortable. Today, the LiteFelt® is made in fashion, western and classic silhouettes.
