Australian Owned
Trusted since 1936
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.

Akubra hats are made from rabbit pelt, which gives them their distinctive texture, durability, and ability to hold their shape over time. The felt is processed and shaped at the Akubra factory in Kempsey, NSW, where the hats have been made for well over a century.
Akubra hats are sized by head circumference in centimetres. The best way to find your size is to measure around your head just above the ears and across the forehead. Our in store team across all Blowes locations are experienced in fitting Akubra hats and are happy to guide you through the process.
Akubra hats are best stored upside down on the crown to preserve the brim shape. Brush the felt regularly with a soft hat brush to remove dust. If the hat gets wet, allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat. Avoid leaving it in a hot car or in direct sunlight for extended periods.
