Platatac Kangaroo Hat Feathers (Emu Plumes)
NOTE: Does NOT include Slouch Hat
Re-designed to please your favourite RSM!
It doesn’t get more Australian than the Lighthorseman “Kangaroo Feathers”. According to legend, Major Percy Ricardo and Captain Harry Chauvel began to wear the feathers after a pet emu had died. Two stockmen picked up the feathers and placed them in their hats, which was said to have looked smart and so it began.
Appreciating a practical joke, when asked about their emu plumes, the light horsemen replied that they were, in fact, "Kangaroo Feathers” a true blue Australian export like bunyip farms, walking-stick farms, and treacle mines. Over 100 years on Emu Plumes are still the iconic symbol of Australian soldiers’ bravery.
