About the brand

Akubra is an Australian hat manufacturer. The company is associated with bush hats made of rabbit fur felt with wide brims that are worn in rural Australia.

In 1874 Benjamin Dunkerley arrived in Tasmania from England and decided to start a hat making business in Hobart. His skills as a hatter were backed by his ability to invent machinery, and soon after his arrival he had developed a mechanical method of removing the hair tip from rabbit fur so the under-fur could be used in felt hat making. Previously this task had to be done by hand.

By 2015 Akubra has produced two million hats for the military.

Akubra Hats are still proudly Australian made in Kempsey.

I hesitate with a lot of different hat so i asked for help and the sales assistant was really helpful and so nice with the customer. About this hat, to be honest it's the best quality that you can find. It's quite expensive but they are made in Australia and the quality has a price. Will buy again.
Thanks for everything

Best Hat I own. And I got a few.

5.0 out of 5 starsBest Hat I own
By David on June 26, 2014
I recently acquired the Akubra. What a great hat. I have other fur felts but nothing like this one. The quality is outstanding. I spent a little time learning how to "bash" it. I've changed it a few times now. I made a custom leather hat band recently for it. It keeps the sun off my face and back of the neck. I use it when I have to be out in the hot Georgian sun. It also does quite well in the rain. I'm planning to take it out fishing soon. This hat is made of bunny fur and I have a feeling that my collection of Akubras will start growing like bunnies. Great hat, you won't regret it. Make sure to measure your head correctly. Don't pull the tape too tight to ensure a perfect fit.
