Every Akubra hat is made to last, and while it will adjust slightly to your head over time, choosing the right size ensures lasting comfort and a perfect fit.
Measuring your head for the right hat size is simple - just follow these three steps:
What You’ll Need
Grab a flexible measuring tape. If you don’t have one, a piece of string and a ruler will do the trick.
Step 1: Measure Where the Hat Will Sit
Wrap the measuring tape (or string) around your head, positioning it just above your ears and about a finger’s width above your eyebrows. This is where your Akubra will naturally sit.
Make sure the tape is level all the way around and sits firmly - but not too tight. You want a comfortable fit, not a squeeze.
Step 2: Record Your Size
Take note of the measurement in centimetres. If you're using a string, simply mark where the ends meet, then lay it flat against a ruler.
Step 3: Choose the Right Size
If your measurement falls between sizes, we recommend sizing up for comfort. Akubra hats are designed to mould to your head over time - so a slightly looser fit is ideal, especially as natural factors like heat and sweat can cause the hat to shrink a little.

Final Tips for a Perfect Fit
To enjoy lasting comfort from your Akubra, keep these essentials in mind:
· A snug start is normal - The leather inner band may shrink slightly with time, so a firm initial fit is ideal. It won’t loosen with wear.
· It will shape to you - With regular wear, your Akubra will naturally mould to the contours of your head, creating a truly personalised fit.
· Fine-tune the fit - If it feels a little loose at first, insert hat fillers (newspaper) behind the inner band. These can be removed later as the hat conforms to your shape. Your hat should feel secure enough to stay on in the wind, but never tight or uncomfortable.
That’s it - you’re ready to find the Akubra that’s right for you. If you need guidance or have any questions, please just chat to our team, we’re here to help.

I ordered a teal coloured linen shirt online for my husband. The shirt is absolutely beautiful. The colour looks just like the photos advertised. The shirt is great quality and it was delivered very quickly. Very happy with our purchase. Thank you.
Great product. I've been shopping at Blowes since I was 9 years old. So over 50 years. I might be one of your longest customers. Regards Dan Gorrie.
