Durable materials, quality fittings and styled by function & purpose, the Akubra collection encaptures the spirit & tradition of good old fashioned 'hard work' which are the foundations that Australia was built on.
Akubra® Hats have been Australia's quality hats since the beginning of the 20th century, ever since Arthur P. Stewart set up to make a hat to meet the needs of this bustling new colony. Australians in the earlier days, much like the Americans of the West, needed better hats than the usual, and, like the Americans, they had to make them for themselves. Akubra hats stood the test of life on the cattle stations and droving routes. Akubra hats still stand the test, not only in Australia, but throughout the world. You will see them wherever you travel.
