BC Hats

Bill Conner lived in the hippy village of Byron Bay since 1969. Bill was making and selling all sorts of fine leather products. In the beginning his sandals were the most popular but it was not long before the hats became his most sought after product. One of his teachers that taught him his craft said that young Bill figured out the best technique how to get an iron wire into the rim of the hat so that it could be shaped in the best form, he just had a knack for it. Today, Bills’ original design and construction method is world-renowned. The quality of a B.C. Leather hat is still unsurpassed.

With the creation of the B.C. Leather Hats, Australia saw a revolution in the Australian Hats industry. Suddenly there was a choice in functional headwear besides the traditional felt hats. B.C. Hats received international recognition in 1988 when Australia hosted the World Expo. In 1993 Bill won the prestigious Exporter of the Year award for the State of New South Wales. He received this award in recognition for not only the creation of the original Australian leather hat but also for bringing it so successfully to the world market. Today B.C. Hats is still a family owned company focused to quality and service and original Australian hats. This ensures that "The Original" will receive all the attention it deserves and they will be simply be the best. Wholesale E: info@paulcompany.nl Photo credit: BC Hats
