About Kakadu:

Richard and his wife Catherine Whillas first constructed their own oilskin cloth using a 'wringer mangler' and a combination of oils and waxes found on the local land. Known for its functionality and durability, this cloth was ideal to protect them and their wharf equipment from the harsh Australian elements.

Strong canvas, refined oils & waxes and rugged cowhide are amongst the raw materials that give our products the guts to get the job done time & time again.

A disappointing customer service experience

Whilst I’m sure the hat, which finally arrived about a fortnight ago, will end up being very useful and look very smart on my brother, for whom it was a gift, the shopping experience with the hat store was a less than pleasant experience. After deciding he needed a bigger size my brother made several attempts to make contact in order to return the hat for an exchange. Once it was eventually returned communication from the hat store was sporadic at best and once I returned (I was away at the time of the return) some five weeks later there was still no sign of the replacement. Supposedly they were waiting on payment of a second delivery fee before they could order the replacement. No communication in advance to this effect. After much negotiation and regular follows ups from me a replacement was eventually ordered and due to my persistence I was given express postage at no additional cost to me (nor should there have been since the original purchase date had been back in November) although no date could be given for when it would show up. All in all not the best experience and so not someone I’ll be looking to order from again in the future.
