I was immediately hooked by the style. Made from recycled truck canvas, it has a incredible vintage character and already feels like your favorite, perfectly broken-in hat from day one.
I can't wait to buy the new Ivy 5 panel flat cap made from the same material and watch band. 😎
That this Hat is outstanding was clear to me before I received it. I have another Bucket Hat, 2 Digger Hats, 2 Backpacks, 6 Bags, 4 pairs of Thongs, Sandals and a Jacket, and all of these Items were always above and beyond.
THIS TIME though, I received a wrong sized bucket hat which gave me the opportunity to experience the CUSTOMER SERVICE of AfroBlonde.
Result :
I requested a return. 4 hours later came their lovely, heartwarming response, which I followed.
Summary :
They added the NEW HAT to another order, shipped via express (2 Days from Victoria to Sydney) and refunded shipping costs for the return IMMEDIATELY.
Unbelievable.
I have the new one here BEFORE they even received the wrong one back.
This is, what family based, customer oriented, world class Ozzie customer service is all about.
Proud to be Australian.
FANTASTIC backpack.
Nothing more to say.
If you love the design (they sell some different styles), you can blindly buy, the quality is as always outstanding.
Awesome hat Ive been looking for a hat tough and rugged for working outdoors and camping trips for a long time until I found the AfroBlonde digger hat perfect 👌🏾
One thing first : JOSHUA.
Another one.
Giving only one star because “It is smaller than it looked in the pics…”.
OMG.
What can they do more than GIVING THE PRECISE MEASUREMENTS ??
People like you buy a Ferrari and then complaining that it’s “Too Fast”.
But thanks for sharing a useless picture of a Backpack that you like.
Please read your own review when you’re off medication.
Not to MY review : This (MEDIUM SIZED for everyone who cannot read numbers) bag is so good I had to buy a second one.
And because I can read numbers and understand measurements, I don’t have to be “give them to a friend”.
You know what : I just keep them, Einstein !
I cant say enough good things about Afro Blonde gear. I have been a fan for years now and love everything that they make. Last year we lost almost everything in hurricane Melissa, but somehow this Digger hat survived. I recently replaced all of my other lost Afro Blonde items and added a few more. I highly recommend this company and will continue to use their products.
First of all, Stuart B. : 3 stars only, because “smaller than expected” ???
Seriously ?
What do you understand when you read “L62cm x W21cm x H24cm” ?
Chocolate ?
Damn Kids…
Honestly. This is a beautiful (mid sized) travel bag that you will have for a veeeeeery long time.
Best feature : Handles, shoulder straps and reinforcements are SEATBELTS !!!
Have to buy a second one as long they’re on special.
Very comfortable to wear especially under a strong sun. My head did not overheat but stayed cool and protected. Although the logo is quite large and visible, Ive taken to wearing it in many places and has survived being thrown, folded, stepped on, it has stayed on being wearable.
I bougjt this in April and it is now September. Will buy this again for sure!
Best Hat I’ve ever owned.
Got rid of all leather hats, bought a second one from AfroBlonde and still thinking to buy more due to the fact that each and every single one looks so different.
The only thing that’s really missing is 5000 physical shops where you can go and pick everything yourself.
Other than that, 10 out of ten stars.
FANTASTIC !!!
WORLD CLASS (Almost) !!!
This is - hand on heart- the best looking jacket you might ever come across.
Can’t walk 100 metres without getting positive responses.
THE ONLY DOWNSIDE is (I herewith agree with negative feedback relating to the Zipper) the ZIPPER, which should be HEAVY DUTY for such a heavy jacket (like the zipper you use for your Army Rain Jacket…). This one here is far too flimsy and I can already feel it coming apart. I know that if I close the Zip and bend forward it will definitely break open.
For now I will not close the Zipper and try to find a reliable alteration which will then replace it.
BUT:
FULL FIVE STARS, because :
1.) Looks : Unreal, above and beyond.
2.) Price : 150 $ less than normal will be invested in a new Zipper.
3.) Comfort : Sturdy first, but once broken in very comfortable, and after some wrinkles around the elbows show up it will only fit YOU (like a worn in leather shoe) and the worn in vintage look is complete.
PLEASE GUYS :
Let me know when a ZIP UPGRADED Version is available, will buy at least another one !!!
Bought for my Misses.
She loves them !
Cheap but very sturdy and reliable alternative to Birkenstock.
Although not as comfortable as Birki’s, these seem to last longer.
Furiosa is beautifully warm, though a bit stiff.
The lining is lovely as it lets the coat slip on easily.
This size Small doesn't seem too huge on my 5'1" height.
I don't look as good as your model but not really expecting that.
I'm pleased with it.
I bought the globetrotter bag believing it would be bigger than the one I’ve sent a photo of.
The one I’ve sent a photo of I utterly love.
I was so disappointed it the globetrotter bag I gifted it to a friend.
In my 70’s now. Never been able to find a hat that I liked/ suited me. So I bought my first 1 of these 10 years ago. Worn it so much that for some time now the canvas has fatigued in so many places.
So I bought another one. Have them both in use now.
Since getting the Renegade hat it has been become my go to walking hat. This photo was taken a few days ago walking along the beautiful surf coast near Bells Beach. A windy sunny day but my hat never felt like it would blow off and it kept my face shaded really well.
Love my Renegade / mystery hat, I had to take advantage of the mid season sale, but was a little worried about the colour. I asked if I could have a neutral colour rather than say a red. And yes my sand coloured hat is perfect. It is easy to pack which was my main criteria unlike my Akubra. Wore it for the first time this weekend and the sun protection from the wide brim is awesome. I can’t wait to fold this up and put it a rucksack when we go walking.
They go with everything I’m really happy with them and have received a few compliments on them too. I have pretty wide feet and they still fit nicely but snugly, although a wide foot version is always appreciated!! They are my new go to shoe.
Always great to get a new piece from Afro Blonde the quality is always great and I love the back story. The latest backpack was not here when we went to the Cook Islands at Christmas time but these two beauties were
I love my wallet hold cards really well no cards fall out great spot for holding notes . Great size fir your pocket even when full of my hard cash hahah. Even matched my hat 😀 Great work guys
I couldn’t pass up the sale price on the Mystery Hat. I’ll admit the color surprised me at first, but I really like it. I got a size up from my previous AfroBlonde digger hats (sand and black) because I wanted it really loose for the hot weather on the beach. Fits just like I wanted and really comfortable. I’ve never seen anyone around here (Maryland USA) with this hat, so it really is unique.
This is my second digger. Got 5yrs of hard labour from the first 1. Everywhere I go people ask about my hat and ive had a few friends purchase their own cos they love mine
This bag is really functional. It's good for day trips where I need a bag that has a bit of extra room. Fits everything in it and ready to go when I am. Thank you, I love it!
