Men’s Akubra hats FAQs
How do I measure my head for the right Akubra hat size?
- To find your ideal Akubra size, use a tailor’s measuring tape and wrap it around your head about 12mm above your ears and eyebrows, which is where the hat will sit. The measurement in centimetres is your size. If you’re measuring between sizes, it’s a good idea to go up one size for comfort.
Which men’s Akubra hat is best for everyday wear?
- The Cattleman and Traveller styles are popular for daily use in a range of settings, thanks to their balanced brim size and versatile design. They showcase the classic Akubra shape, with durability and timeless style suited to work outdoors and weekend wear. Akubra hats also pair easily with a range of Men’s Accessories.
Will my Akubra hat stretch over time?
- Akubra hats will change slightly with wear and conform to the shape of your head, especially if worn frequently, but they will generally not stretch. If you’re unsure of the right size, pick one size larger than your measurement. The sheepskin band will shrink over time, and you can use fillers to tighten the fit in the meantime.
Can Akubra hats be worn in the city, or are they just for the outback?
- While rooted in Australian rural life, Akubra hats have also become a stylish choice in urban settings. Their clean lines, premium materials and iconic shape make them suitable for city wear, from casual coffee outings to formal events.
Can I wear my Akubra hat with a suit or formal outfit?
- Yes, many Akubra styles complement formal attire effortlessly. Darker colours and simpler crown shapes pair especially well with tailored outfits, including blazers and button-down shirts. Akubra hats have been worn for more than a century at state events, weddings, celebrations and more.
