Where to buy: Akubra stockists nationwide (Strand Hatters Sydney, City Hatters Melbourne), rural outfitters, akubra.com.au

- Made in Kempsey, NSW since 1912 — rabbit fur felt, built to be rained on for decades.
- Prices rose after the 2023 Tecovas-family acquisition; A$340 minus TRS is still well under typical US import pricing.
- Get sized in store (hats run in cm) and carry it on board — a crushed Akubra is a sad Akubra; wearing it through the airport is TRS-legal.
