A Collaboration Built on Purpose

The Lachie Stuart x Yeah Buddy collaboration is more than just a collection—it’s a movement. Designed to celebrate resilience and progress, this limited-edition range features hats crafted from our signature ReVive material, made from recycled plastics. Every piece in the collection is not only built for performance but also supports a larger purpose: raising $10,000 for Mental Awareness Foundation through the sale of these hats.

In Lachie’s words:

"This isn’t just about running—it’s about connecting with a community that believes in making a difference. Knowing that every step I take helps raise awareness for mental health keeps me going."

Behind the Design

In this episode, you’ll get an exclusive look at how the collection came to life. From the early sketches to the final product, every element was designed with intention:

  • The Art Series 58 Hat represents every runner’s journey, featuring contour lines, a heartbeat, and a fingerprint design.
  • The Art Series 58 Legionaries Hat, Lachie’s favourite, was tailored to protect him during long runs in challenging conditions.
  • The 58 Panel Legionaries Hat blends sleek design with ultimate functionality, making it a versatile choice for all runners.

Eugene D’Hage-Craig, Design Director at Yeah Buddy, explains:

"This collection is about more than just aesthetics—it’s about telling Lachie’s story and creating gear that can keep up with the demands of his challenge."

The Sweat Equity Philosophy

As Lachie and Yeah Buddy founder Leon Hayes chatted about their shared commitment to perseverance, sustainability, and community, this episode of Sweat Equity highlights the true essence of the collaboration: grit, passion, and a desire to inspire others.

Leon shares:

"This partnership reflects what Yeah Buddy is all about—supporting progress and making an impact. Working with Lachie has been an incredible experience, and we’re honoured to be part of his journey."
