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 must say that the Coober Pedy Khaki by Akubra is the Most gorgeous piece of headwear that I have ever bought. The secure packaging by Australian Gear insured that my hat arrived to Ireland safe and even though we are in the middle of a pandemic it arrived in less than two weeks of placing my order (I don’t know if the business has a few friends in Brisbane air authority but that is bloody good going considering how chaotic things are). Overall I am very happy with my purchase and the videos of the various styles of hats and how they compare with one another really helped me make an informed decision of which style would suit me. I will certainly return to make another purchase in the near future.
