ROGUE HATS
One of my mates asked me to design a hat for him to wear in the
bush. He said there was nothing he had seen in the shops that
was right. I asked him what was "right." "Leather," he
said. "All leather and it must be the right colour." It must
have a wide, curved brim with a stiffener around the edge that
would retain the shape, even if he drove over it. So we stitch
it double, in case he does. "Shape," he said, "get the shape
right and call it ROGUE and I'll be your first customer." So we
did and he was... I see him often and he still wears that
hat....I only make them.

metal badge. The ultimate Rogue hat and a true classic.

Oily Original 109
We use a lot of
oil grain leather so it is natural to make the most popular style in the
same. This enduring classic is the 4x4 of leather hats and with its
wide, curved brim is equally at home in the sun or rain. The 'fly band'
is standard on this beast.

We live in a harsh but
beautiful environment. It demands respect and we give it that, by
building products that are uniquely African.
We've been around the block
once or twice. Since 1973 two generations of the Selke family have put
their name to a range of gear they believe is worthy of it. We don't
just work for a company, we live it.
We select and use the best of
raw materials to ensure that what we produce is worthy of carrying our
name. Our products are designed to have a long life span. History has
confirmed this.
My mate from the bush (see
top of page) does exist. He is a combination of three people, two
friends and myself. What we need, we make. What we make must be good
because we use it. And none of us like nylons and plastics or fancy
brand names that cost a fortune and can't do the job. And are made in
China.
Our products have been
constructed from top grade materials to give you unmatched durability;
the exact opposite of 'planned obsolescence.'
