An Australian Icon
Akubra has been making hats in Australia since 1874, and the brand's reputation has only grown since. Every hat is crafted from rabbit pelt at the Akubra factory in Kempsey, NSW, using a process that has remained largely unchanged for generations. The result is a hat that is genuinely built to last, shaped to your head over time, and unmistakably Australian.
At Blowes Clothing, we stock a considered range of Akubra styles across our stores. Whether you are after something functional for work outdoors, a classic shape for everyday wear, or a hat that will see you through decades of use, there is an Akubra for it.
Finding Your Style
The Cattleman is the one most people picture when they think of an Akubra. Broad flat brim, pinched crown, and a connection to the land that goes back generations. The Riverina offers something a little more relaxed, with a medium brim and a less structured crown that suits a wider range of occasions. For travel, the Traveller is hard to beat, its crushable construction meaning it packs down and comes back into shape without complaint.
The Rough Rider suits those who want a bolder silhouette, while the Coober Pedy and Tablelands offer practical sun protection without sacrificing style. Each style is available in a range of colours, and our in store team can help you find the right fit.
Please Note
While Akubra hats cannot be purchased through our website, our range is available to browse online, allowing you to compare styles and find the hat that suits you best. For nearly 90 years, the team at Blowes Clothing has been helping customers find the right Akubra, and we're happy to provide the same advice over the phone if you can't make it into store. If you'd prefer to try different styles and sizes in person, visit us at any of our locations across Bathurst, Dubbo, Orange, Wagga Wagga, and Mudgee.
