The Akubra hat is more than just headwear — it's an Australian icon. Crafted from pure rabbit fur felt and built to last a lifetime, an Akubra is the finishing touch to any western or country-inspired outfit. Here's how to wear yours with confidence.
Know Your Style
Akubra offers a range of crown and brim shapes to suit different face shapes and occasions. The Cattleman is a classic wide-brim style perfect for outdoor work and country events, while the Highway Tune offers a slightly more relaxed, everyday silhouette.
Casual Country Style
For a relaxed everyday look, pair your Akubra with:
- A classic chambray or flannel shirt
- Well-fitted western jeans or moleskin trousers
- A quality leather belt with a simple buckle
- Chelsea or ankle boots
Keep it simple — the hat does the talking.
Western Event Ready
Heading to a rodeo, country race day, or agricultural show? Step it up with:
- A tailored western shirt with pearl snap buttons
- Dark-wash bootcut jeans or moleskin trousers
- Full-grain leather cowboy boots
- A statement belt buckle
How to Care for Your Akubra
Your Akubra will last decades with the right care:
- Brush regularly with a soft hat brush, always in an anti-clockwise direction
- Store on a hat stand to maintain the crown shape
- Keep away from rain where possible — if it gets wet, reshape and air dry naturally
- Handle by the brim, not the crown, to avoid denting
