Explorer Classic Bucket Sun Hat Flynn & Flax
It's all about the details! With a tapered crown with horizontal band and sweet stitch detail on the brim, our Explorer Classic Bucket hats are a style step up from the usual bucket hat! Light and cool on heads, kids will barely notice they're wearing a hat! Made from 100% eco-friendly linen which can self-cool in summer and warm in winter, the Explorer hat provides UPF50+ sun protection without overheating heads. The wide brims shield eyes and faces all year round, while the woven interfacing and thin cord edge in the brim gives a little more flexibility and shape without flopping in eyes.
Fully reversible with a pattern on one side and a coordinating solid colour on the other, you get two hats for the price of one. Adjustable ties at the back of the crown allow the perfect fit to be achieved, and elasticated straps tie under chins to keep hats in place. The elastic in the ties allows stretch and comfort, and ensures the ties aren't too tight.
The most perfect nude colour in everyone’s fave pattern: gingham!
Best suited to: Independent kids on the move - perfect for outdoor adventures!
Features:
- Lightweight and comfortable for kids who fuss over hats.
- Wide brims with tapered crowns for great style.
- Rated UPF50+ Excellent Protection.
- Fully reversible with a pattern on one side and coordinating plain-colour on the other.
- Adjustable and elasticised ties on the crown allow the perfect fit on both sides.
- Earthy colours and patterns inspired by nature for timeless style.
- Tested in accordance with Australia & New Zealand Standards 4399.
- Sun-Smart recommended brim depths (see tab below for measurements).
- Made from 100% eco-friendly linen which is recyclable, biodegradable and has a better-for-the-environment manufacturing process.
- Slightly flexible and shapeable brims for a more flowy feel without the flop.
- Wash & wear - gentle cold machine wash in a wash bag and line dry in the shade.
- Beautiful button-up 'Return to' label for names to help hats get home safely.
- Elasticised chin ties to keep hats in place (the elastic allows some stretch so not too tight).
NOTE: Chin strap can easily be removed if required without compromising the quality of the hat - you just need scissors!
Size Advice & Brim Depth:
No two heads are the same, so it's always best to measure your child's head to get the ideal fit.
Step 1: Distract the child with a toy or food (so they don't try to help you!).
Step 2: Use a measuring tape to take the measurement. Otherwise, use a ribbon to take the size then use a ruler to find the measurement.
Step 3: Choose a hat size with the smallest measurement closest to your child's head measurement. Our Wanderer Panelled Bucket Hats have adjustable ties in the crown to get the perfect fit to your child's head size with a 4cm range in each hat. By choosing the smallest size of the range, you will get the most wear out of it.
FOR EXAMPLE: The child measures 53cm, you will need the 54cm that will give you a lot of future wear. It's important to get the hat closest to your head size, if it's too big the hat will block the child's vision, causing uncomfort and a good chance of them pulling it off.

Such a gorgeous shop with the most beautiful & unique pieces. I love shopping here so I can give really thoughtful & eco friendly gifts. Oh and the wrapping 🤩 Every detail is magical. Thank you!

I am besotted with this little gem of a shop for the luckiest little people in your life. Here the true magic of childhood is running free. I went to Kuddly for 2 little people in my life but then also found magical potions and the best sensory playdoh for my tween and beautifully handmade marbles for my teen. The playdoh is clearly made with love and smells heavenly and I couldn’t help but join in with my daughter when making playdoh ice creams. The lovely South African Jackie who helped me was like a fairy godmother and so very helpful and generous to even put my little trolley together so I didn’t have to do it at home. If you believe in magic this is the place 🍄❤️

Gorgeous! Gorgeous store, gorgeous product range, gorgeous owner. Lauren is like the gift fairy, she creates magic with every handpicked item in her store and makes every person who walks through the door feel special. My children's favourite birthday presents this year were the personally curated potion kits that Lauren put together for each of them. I called, passed on their specific requests and Lauren picked, wrapped and posted within the day! Such a great service for a busy mum.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this little kids shop. Lauren is so friendly and professional with the best advice on age appropriate gifts for children. I have shopped both online and in store, and everything is wrapped, or packaged beautifully and sent so quickly. I highly recommend Kuddly Kids for any kids gifts you need.

I recently had a delightful experience at Kuddly Kids Buderim while shopping for a birthday present for a 1-year-old and a new baby gift. As a grandma, finding the perfect gifts can be challenging, but Jackie was incredibly helpful. She provided excellent suggestions and patiently assisted me throughout my shopping. After I chose and paid for the gifts, Jackie even wrapped them beautifully, which was a lovely touch. A big thank you to Kuddly Kids for their extensive range of products and exceptional customer service. Highly recommend this store to anyone looking to make their gift shopping a pleasant and effortless experience!
