Distinctly Australian! Just like the Bushie, but with a broader brim. Jump from 6.5cm/2.6" to 7.5cm/3" for that extra coverage from our suns harsh rays. The Bushie Plus is hand-crafted from our premium custom Faux Suede. That simply means it looks and feels like Suede without the use of animal products. Our intention was to create a hat that is light weight and breathable, so your head doesn't overheat and sweat like with traditional leather and felt hats. 

Featuring plaited banding, ventilation eyelets, nickel rust proof hardware, and soft elastic interior banding for a secure fit. The most durable hat on the market with a 50+UPF Sun Protection rating.

Perforated options in Camel, Blonde, and Pearl. We will do a run of some other colours over the next couple months.

Care Guide

Adjust Crown Depth

All our crowns are hand turned during their production. You can customize the height and depth quite easily.

Please click the link below for more information.

Increase/decrease crown depth.

Perforated vs. Solid

The Solid crown is your traditional crown. The Perforated crown allows greater air flow, and allows it to be packed flat easier, with minimal creases.

You can pack either Bushie Plus flat, but please don’t fold it as you could compromise the brim. Minor creases may appear, but they can be steamed out or once submerged.

Another option is to turn it upside down and pack clothing in the crown to save space.

Pack For Travel

You can pack Aussie Chiller Headwear flat, but please don’t fold it as you could compromise the brim.

  • "Thank you I love my hat! Ordered my pearl Bushie Plus just before travelling to Sicily and with the swift delivery I got it in time for departure. I’m so satisfied with my hat that I will order also another modell when home again. Thank you for proving how online shopping really should be. I will recommend to anybody to go through with a purchase from Aussi Chiller."

  • "The best hat I’ve ever owned! I travel a lot and was looking for a versatile packable hat for warmer weather. I explored the Aussie Chiller site and ordered the perforated Bushie based on the reviews. I’m so happy I did. I live in the northeast US and recently traveled to Key West Florida. The Bushie came out of my suitcase unscathed. Just popped it back in shape. I wore it all the time from the beach, pool, soaked it and it kept me cool in very warm weather. I’m a musician and wore it to perform. I received so many compliments. I’m going to order a solid Bushie plus for the cooler months. Thank you Aussie Chiller for a wonderful well made hat!"

    Bushie plus

    Hi. I have had plenty of hats over the years and the Bushie is by far the best of them all. I went to the factory and met a lovely lady who helped me buy a hat for myself and a mate. I would highly recommend your hats to everyone. I wear mine all the time and when people ask I’m more than happy to tell them it’s a Aussie chiller. Cheers

    The only one for me

    G'day from Canada! I have just had a lung transplant, which has suppressed my immune system. I am vulnerable to exposure to sunshine. The Bushie Plus is the only large-rimmed, lightweight sun protection hat that offers the necessary protection while being very comfortable & stylish. Here I am in the picture, enjoying the first 19-degree day of the year. I'm looking forward to many years of use.
