Selke - Handcrafted Leather and Fabric Hats

Established in 1973 by the Selke family, Selke Enterprises have been bringing New Zealand - and, since 2001, the world - their superlative range of outdoor clothing for two generations. Beginning in the Canterbury town of Ashburton with the manufacture of traditionally-styled leather and fabric hats, Selke’s range has since expanded under new ownership to include stylish dress hats, as well as a selection of classy and hardwearing handcrafted cotton oilskin vests, jackets, and coats.

Since its establishment, Selke has built a well-earned reputation for quality products and fine workmanship, and has become a trusted name in outdoor apparel throughout New Zealand and beyond.

Our products are manufactured from the best available raw materials with the attention to detail and craftsmanship that quality demands.  All of our garments offer great performance in tough weather conditions and long-lasting durability, and at a cost that won’t break the bank.

If you need a hat or garment that won’t let you down in harsh conditions, is manufactured to the highest standards, and looks great too, choose Selke.

Just a few examples of what our customers are saying about us (unprompted!):

I have purchased a hat when I visited NZ 3 years ago and will replace to a new one.  The best hat I ever had.
