David Morgan is proud to carry jewelry designed by Cavin Richie. After we started offering his pieces in 2008, they quickly became one of our top sellers.
It is easy to see why. The attention to detail is superb. Cavin captures the details of each animal: the feathers of a hummingbird in flight for example, or the wings of a dragonfly.
The earrings featured in the video are the Hummingbird Heart Earrings.

We’re very pleased to present two new hats from David Morgan.
The Hampton is the latest addition to our fedora collection. It has the narrowest brim yet, stretching to only 1 3/4 inches. And, befitting of a city hat, the brim is finished. The crown is 4 inches at the front, rising to 4 1/2 inches in the center and dropping to 3 3/4 inches in the back. A 1 1/2 inch grosgrain ribbon finishes off the hat. The color is a deep, rich Cedar Brown. More here.

Australia’s heritage shines through the names of Akubra’s hats. Many are named after places (Coober Pedy, Stony Creek, The Territory) while others are named after notaries such as the Lawson and the Banjo Paterson.
Banjo Paterson was a poet, author and journalist. Like most writers, he had a paying career and wrote on the side. At age 16 he began as a clerk in a law firm and became a lawyer when he was 22.
At age 21 he began submitting his work to the Sydney edition of The Bulletin under the pen name, “The Banjo”—the name of a favorite horse.
His poetry focused on Australian life, especially on the Bush and Outback. In 1890 he wrote, “The Man from Snowy River”, which inspired the movie by the same name. Five years later he wrote, “Waltzing Matilda”, Australia’s most famous bush ballad which was set to music in 1903. “Clancy of the Overflow”, another well-known poem was written in 1889.
Two novels include, “An Outback Marriage” and, “The Shearer’s Colt”. He also wrote many short stories.
Lyrics to Waltzing Matilda:
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled
“You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me.”
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
“You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me”
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
“You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me.”
Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong,
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee,
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
“You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me.”
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
“You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me”
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
“You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me.”
Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred,
Down came the troopers, one, two, three,
“Who’s that jolly jumbuck you’ve got in your tucker bag?”
“You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me.”
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
“You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me”
“Where’s that jolly jumbuck you’ve got in your tucker bag?”,
“You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me.”
Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong,
“You’ll never take me alive”, said he,
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
“You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me.”
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
“You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me”
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
“You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me.”

With the coming of La Niña, much of the country is set to endure another season of cold temperatures. Stay warm this winter, both indoors and outdoors, with cozy items from David Morgan.
Koru socks are from New Zealand and made of possum fur. The feet are padded with grips in the shape of a koru, which means, ‘fern frond’ in Maori. The smooth fibers of possum fur have hollow cores and soft pointed ends.
Possum fur blended with Merino wool and nylon gives a strong, luxurious yarn that is extremely lightweight and soft. The yarn wears well, is easy to care for and resists pilling.
Our long underwear from Stanfield’s is made of 80 percent wool and 20 percent nylon. Wool is superior to synthetics for wicking away moisture while its anti-microbial properties keep odors from building up.
These will scratch at first, but trust us, after a few washes, they’ll be soft against your skin, keeping you warm and comfortable all throughout winter.

All of our Cavin Richie jewelry pieces are top sellers. Cavin captures the spirit of every animal he carves. Each is accurately detailed down to the texture of the animal’s skin or fur. His line includes birds, mammals and amphibians. For the past thirty years he has carved with shed elk antler and woolly mammoth ivory. These carvings became the basis for his lost wax casting jewelry.
We are pleased to offer these solid bronze lost wax castings. A patina complements the earthy metal, giving each piece a unique finish. The fishhook earrings have hypoallergenic (gray niobium) hooks.
Long-Eared Bat Pendant, available also as earrings.
Sea Turtle Necklace, also available as earrings.

Our hand-crafted chinstraps work great for hats with chinstrap hooks. But how can you take advantage of the quality of kangaroo leather when you don’t have hooks?
David Morgan’s new stampede string work simply by slipping the cotter pins underneath the sweatband and then bending the pins to keep the hooks in place.
Follow these simple instructions and you’re set!
Hold the cotter pins together and slide them between the stitches at the base of the sweatband. A pair of pliers can be helpful.
Pull them all the way through until the leather braid touches the sweatband.
Bend the pins outward, as close to horizontal as possible, so they will not slip back through the sweatband.
This is how it should look beneath the sweatband.

After this year’s long winter, we’re all ready to make the most out of summer. But amidst the picnics, camping and golf, we can’t forget to protect our heads.
Tilley’s Airflo fits the bill. It weighs a mere four ounces and offers excellent skin protection with a UPF rating of 50+. UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor and unlike SPF (Sunlight Protection Factor), the rating includes standards for both Ultraviolet A and Ultraviolet B waves.
The crown contains a polyester mesh for ventilation. Tilley fabricates the sweatband with Hydrofil®, a modern fabric that keeps sweat away from your skin. The hat’s body is composed of Nylamtium®, a nylon that resists water and mildew.
The stitched brim is 3-1/2 inches on the front and back and 2-1/2 inches on the sides. You can use the adjustable ties for windy days. The Velcro closure on the small pocket in the crown safely holds a key, card, or cash.
Machine wash, air dry. Colors: Natural (with a green under-brim) or Khaki (with an olive under-brim). Made in Canada by Tilley Endurables.
