Akubra hats

[@sarinsarin7898]

I love my akubra's, just purchased my 3rd, Lee kernaghan anniversary addition, great strong hat. Thankyou Akubra for making such an iconic piece of wear.

Just bought another Rough Rider in black. Been wearing Akubra since I was 6 years old. 48 now and still have my first one.The best hats hands down in my opinion. Keeps me warm in winter and the 40 degree Riverina sun of me in summer I won't let another brand touch my head.

Really like my Territory hat, looking to get a Riverina soon in Sand, bit cooler than the fawn of the Territory. Thanks for posting this!

[@prehistoricplayer1132]

I just got my Territory a few days ago and I love it so much, I love the amount of shade it gives your head and neck!

Just received my Akubra Stylemaster directly from Australia. Truly an amazing hat having top quality and craftsmanship. Thank you

[@laurajohnstone6733]

Wow what an absolutely fantastic story to listen too. I had no idea just how much work went into creating one of these iconic hats! Proud to own my snowy River hat and will definitely treasure it! Thanks so much for a great video

My first Akubra - The Boss coming in the mail now. I can't wait

[@sergeant5848]

Great video. I couldn't do that job day in day out. Too much mindless repetition. My hat goes off to those employees! Probably explains why they're so bloody expensive.

[@jackdillon4467]

Great video!!! I love my Akubra hats! I have at least 12 or more

[@johnhoward7298]

Are the there any youtube videos showing the complete inventory of available hats ? I'm not so concerned with sun protection , as I am with rain protection ( I work at night ) The main concern I have with the hat I have with the hat is the care of the brim when Im working . ( I drive a truck , and Im afraid it won't hold it's shape & get very dirty )

Well done mate!

У меня уже есть 2 шляпы Акубра: Кообер Педи и Риверина. И я уже заказал себе третью шляпу: Киандра, но её надо ждать 5 месяцев. Всем добра.

When is the hat waterproofed? Or water resistant?

[@jeffstone7912]

Sweet!

A more recent video from Akubra suggests that they now use rabbit fur imported from Europe rather than producing their own fur from hides (presumably produced domestically). Why don't they use Australian hides and fur for their felt?

[@chronocommander007]

It is odd because the European rabbit has been an invasive species in Australia and you can't even have a rabbit as a pet there.

[@annagilda1]

Back in the day, everyone and his mum shot invasive rabbits in New South Wales. More recently, the supply of rabbit pelts has become more unreliable, through a combination of less people working the land. (Much larger farms) and introduced diseases such as; mixomitosis to help control rabbit numbers. There just isn't the reliable amount of rabbits around. Which, for Australia as whole is a good thing, but not for Akubra.

[@chronocommander007]

@@annagilda1 Thanks for clarifying the rabbit situation.

[@annagilda1]

@@chronocommander007 no worries. :-)

[@robbiephillips8103]

I designed some of the akubra hats on photoshop to see what they think

[@robbiephillips8103]
