    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.

    Great Akubra hat & customer service

    This isn't the first Akubra hat I've bought from the good folks at Australian Gear. Even though I live on the other side of the world, their available stock, competitive prices, and fast shipping at reasonable cost make them one of my go-to hat shops whenever I'm in the market for a new Akubra.

    Excellent, I'd definitely recommend it !

    Wonderful rich dark chocolate brown felt, soft hand and appearance like moleskin, thick and tough. Clearly brilliant quality.
    Equally nice:
    Ordered the hat Monday night, arrived Wednesday afternoon on the other side of Australia. Some things take 3 weeks from Brisbane to Perth! Only paid standard shipping. Would Hats by the Hundred have flown it direct in Concord if I'd ordered express shipping? Can't see how they would have got it here quicker otherwise. Very happy - this is a 3 month made to order hat in 2 days

    Good Times
    Good hat, good service

    Very pleased overall with my new akubra. I've had many Akubras over the years and found them to be tough, stylish and durable ( unless eaten by the family dog or accidentally slashed during paddock work....oops!) . The RR Akubra is very comfortable and provides excellent shade for my face. Thank you for your extremely fast delivery. It arrived within 48 hrs of purchase, which was amazing. It is exactly the right size and fits perfectly.
