For over a century, Akubra’s fine felt hats have adorned and protected generations of Australians. Akubra started out as a small family operation in Tasmania, and now employs over 90 trades people in Kempsey, NSW, manufacturing thousands of hats each week.
Over the years Akubra has maintained its ability to be in vogue. Our hats have become a vital part of Australia’s identity; worn by soldiers, Olympians, politicians, personalities and of course, loyal, everyday countrymen and women. Akubra produces a wide selection of fur felt and straw hat styles to suit all people and all occasions, from Western and Country shapes through to casual and formal fashion hats.
AUSTRALIAN MADE AND OWNEDAkubra Hats is a fifth generation Australian Owned family company, with the current Managing Director being Stephen Keir IV. Contrary to some reports all Akubra Hats are wholly manufactured in Australia from the one location in Kempsey on the North Coast of New South Wales. Akubra Hats is committed to continuing the manufacture of its product in Australia.
Akubra Hats regularly independently tests its fur felt hats for Ultraviolet Protection. Samples are sent to the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA), a Federal Government Agency. Akubra then receives an Ultraviolet Protection Factor Report and an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) rating.
The UPF rating indicates how effective a fabric is at blocking out solar ultraviolet radiation. This testing is performed according to Australian/New Zealand standard AS/NZS 4399. UPF ratings range from 15 to 50 with higher ratings indicating more effective blocking and therefore better protection for the wearer of a garment
made from the fabric. Fabrics that test higher than UPF 50 are rated as UPF 50+.
Akubra Hats are currently rated at UPF 50+, and as such are classified as EXCELLENT under the UPF Classification System. This is the highest classification achievable under this system. This confirms the long held belief that Akubra Hats provides excellent protection from the sun for those who are outdoors, either at work or at leisure. This will continue to be an important selling point for retailers looking to promote the advantages of Akubra over other headwear products in the marketplace.

Every Akubra Hat is made from pure
rabbit fur felt and depending on the style,
anywhere from 10 to 14 rabbit skins make an
individual hat. Fur felt is the strongest natural
fabric produced, as the individual fibres are
tightly interlocked in production to form a
dense, tough matrix. That’s what makes
Akubra Hats so durable.

HAT CARE
An Akubra is more than just a hat - it's an
Australian Icon. Not only are we Australian
owned; all our hats are made right here. Your hat is
also an investment that - with proper care
- will give you years of service and
pleasure. Outlined below are
some important tips for caring
for an Akubra Hat.
looking after your AkubraFirst and foremost - never leave your hat in the car or in direct sunlight when not being worn. Do not force dry the hat if it has become wet. The inside leather band will shrink and once this happens it is hard to stretch back to its original size. Akubra hats are shower-proof and include a water proofing solution. As the hat ages the water proofing during manufacture may break down and the felt will absorb water. However, generally your head will remain dry.
Fitting your AkubraDo not squeeze the front of your hat when putting it on your head as this in time will cause a sharp point which will be the first place the hat will wear. Tugging the brim to ensure the fit can spoil the brim if this is done continually. When not being worn rest the hat upside down on the crown or hang it on a hat peg.
To properly fit a hat, clear all hair away from the forehead and place the front of the hat (ribbon bow and size to the back) on the head: then by placing the palm of your hand on the back of the crown push the hat down. The hat should fit firmly on the head so that a good push down will make the hat stay in place on a windy day. When trying a hat on you will occasionally find one size too small and the next too big. It is suggested that you purchase the larger one and insert a liner inside the leather sweatband to help the hat fit more snugly. A hat that feels too tight will never be comfortable. When the hat is new it may feel a little stiff. However, with wear the leather hatband will begin to mould to your head shape.
If the hat brim is out of shape simply place the area over steam (a kettle will do nicely) until the area is moist. Remember not to get the inside band wet. The bent brim can be re-shaped with your fingertips and any crown marks should simply disappear.
Cleaning your AkubraYour Akubra should be cleaned by a hat cleaning specialist only, please refer to our list of hat care cleaning specialists at www.akubra.com.au. However if the hat is slightly soiled with dust and/or grime, firstly brush the hat in an anti-clockwise direction to remove any dust and then lightly rub the affected area with a paint thinner or dry cleaning fluid. Do not use too much. Car upholstery cleaner can be used. Spray on and leave for 15-20 seconds then wipe off with a damp cloth.
