Australians spend a lot of time outdoors. To protect themselves from the harsh sunlight they wear hats as a matter of course, and they expect their hats to last. Australians give hats rough treatment - fan the fire, water the dog, or gather the chooks' eggs, an Akubra is expected to handle it all, day in day out, year in year out. You can wear your Akubra with confidence, knowing it's quality and style are top-notch. Fitting Your Akubra.
Heads come in all sizes, and in a surprising variety of shapes.
Although fur-felt hats are adaptable, and will usually conform to differences in shape with a little wearing, it is essential that the size be correct for the head. To determine your hat size, follow the directions under Hat Sizing . Please check the fit of your Akubra before wearing it. If you wish to return the hat for a different size do not remove the size tag, stick foam tape to the hat, or otherwise alter it. Wearing and Caring for Your Akubra.
