Whillas & Gunn

Whillas & Gunn grew out of Kakadu Traders Australia’s 1972 workwear roots; it’s what you reach for once the boots come off. Built from decades of oilskin and canvas expertise, it reimagines drovers’ coats, rugged bags and travel backpacks for people who live between flights and border crossings. Its Anti‑Workwear philosophy rejects life lived solely for a job, favouring gear that endures dusty highways, night trains and city rain. The tone is cinematic and dry‑humoured—the voice of a seasoned drifter with dust on his boots and passport stamps fading at the edges. One canvas backpack will see you through a hostel bunk, a mountain pass and a Melbourne laneway bar. For travellers who plan lightly, improvise heavily and value versatility, Whillas & Gunn delivers honest, globally aware gear grounded in Australian heritage.
