Product Overview
The Beechfield BC789 Outback hat is a professional-grade headwear solution designed for those who require both protection and a traditional aesthetic. Crafted from a heavy washed cotton, this hat offers a substantial feel and a soft, lived-in texture that ensures comfort throughout the working day. It is an essential item for outdoor workers, combining a rugged design with technical compliance, specifically conforming to BS 8466 for sun protection. This ensures that the wearer remains safe and professional, even in challenging environmental conditions.
Key Features
- UPF50+ protection provides a high level of defence against harmful ultraviolet radiation, which is a critical safety feature for prolonged outdoor activity.
- The integrated chin strap with a leather toggle allows for a secure fit, ensuring the hat stays in place during high winds or physical movement.
- Mesh eyelets are incorporated into the crown to facilitate airflow, reducing heat buildup and improving wearer comfort.
- Press stud side turn-ups offer the flexibility to change the hat’s profile, making it adaptable for different tasks or personal preferences.
- An elasticated cord size adjuster with a toggle allows for a bespoke fit across a wide range of head sizes.
Design & Performance
The performance of the BC789 is rooted in its heavy washed cotton construction. This fabric choice provides a sturdy barrier against the elements while remaining breathable. The "heavy washed" process softens the cotton fibres, which prevents the material from feeling overly stiff or abrasive against the skin. Despite its robust nature, the hat remains a lightweight accessory that does not cause fatigue during long shifts. The inclusion of the BS 8466 accreditation demonstrates that this is not merely a fashion accessory, but a piece of functional equipment designed to meet rigorous sun safety standards.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This Outback hat is a versatile canvas for your company branding. For a sophisticated and durable appearance, embroidery is the preferred choice; our expert team in Telford can apply high-quality logos or names that will withstand the rigours of outdoor work. If your requirement involves larger or more complex designs, high-precision print is also available. At MyWorkwear, we have been managing garment customisation since 1976, ensuring that every piece of headwear leaving our facility represents your business to the highest standard.
Use Cases
The BC789 is ideally suited for agricultural workers, landscapers, and construction professionals who require reliable sun protection. It is also a popular choice for event staff and supervisors working at outdoor venues where a uniform and professional appearance is required alongside practical utility.

Practical Advice
To ensure the best fit, utilise the elasticated cord at the rear of the hat to snug the band against your head before securing the chin strap. If you are working in environments with high glare, ensure the brim is fully extended to maximise the benefit of the UPF50+ rated fabric.
Caring for your product
To maintain the shape and the protective properties of the heavy washed cotton, this hat should be sponge-cleaned only. Machine washing can cause the cotton to shrink and may distort the structure of the brim or damage the leather toggle and press studs.
We advise against the use of bleach or harsh chemical cleaners, as these will degrade the fabric fibres and can cause significant fading to both the hat's colour and any custom embroidery or print. After cleaning, allow the hat to dry naturally in the shade; avoid direct heat sources such as radiators, which can cause the material to become brittle.
