sweat banned
Virtually all Akubra styles feature a roan sheepskin leather sweatband that provides natural comfort and breathability against bare skin. Perhaps your Resistol sweatband is a non-breathable synthetic version. -
Any questions for a hat seller and specialist in Akubras?
While Akubra is certainly a volume hat manufacturer, the manual nature of hat-making, the batch system of production (tied to minimum dyeing quantities required), and our "bunny to brow" capabilities do allow a fair degree of flexibility. As has been done in the past, I'd suggest that you (as a... -
An Akubra Bushman Question!
The unlined Bushman appears to be the original version made for Australian distribution and now discontinued. The lined version would be that made exclusively for David Morgan. While the call-names of Akubra hats may remain relatively constant, those purchased from Australian stockists may be... -

Have a look at our own website or retail Catalogue (link in previous thread) for complete style / colour / size ranges offered. Retailers choose from that range, and do not necessarily show all options, or may show custom options not broadly available. -

Any questions for a hat seller and specialist in Akubras?

AKUBRA SOMBRERO PICTURES PLEASE

AKUBRA SOMBRERO PICTURES PLEASE
Akubra Sombrero The Bush Tucker Man - Major Les Hiddins - revived the popularity of the Akubra Sombrero when he wore his version featuring the "bush tucker man bash" on his TV series. A particularly tricky crown crease to copy, although Strand Hatters do it well.
