About Akubra:

Akubra is an Australianhat manufacturer. The company is associated with bush hatsmade ofrabbit fur feltwith wide brims that are worn in rural Australia.

In1874Benjamin Dunkerley arrived in Tasmania from England and decided to start a hat making business in Hobart. His skills as a hatter were backed by his ability to invent machinery, and soon after his arrival he had developed a mechanical method of removing the hair tip from rabbit fur so the under-fur could be used in felt hat making. Previously this task had to be done by hand.

By2015Akubra has produced two million hats for the military.

Akubra Hats are still proudly Australian made in Kempsey.
