How To Style A Brown Hat
A brown hat is the one you reach for without thinking. It sits easily with denim, moleskins, a work shirt, or a jacket heading into town.
Lighter browns like bran and acorn fawn stand out against darker clothing and sit well with warmer tones. Deeper browns like loden, coffee and bitter chocolate are the easier match year round.
The trick is matching your leather belt and boots to your felt. A chocolate belt with the darker shades, tan with the lighter ones and you’re off to the races.

Akubra Brown Hat Common Questions (FAQs):
What shade of brown hat should I choose?
Lighter brown hats like bran and acorn fawn stand out against darker clothing and sit well with warmer tones. Deeper browns like loden and coffee are versatile across the seasons. Every shade is built to last, so choose whichever suits your style, or come into an Akubra store for a professional fitting.
What goes with a brown hat?
Match the leather to the felt. Our chocolate belts sit naturally with the darker browns, and tan leather suits the lighter shades. A pin or feather in the band will add a unique touch to your Akubra.
Will a brown felt hat fade in the sun?
It'll change, and that's the point. Brown felt softens and deepens through years of sun, rain and handling, and no two age the same way. A brown hat that's been worn for a decade looks like it belongs to someone. Brushing it regularly and storing it out of direct light keeps it looking its best as it goes.
How do I clean a brown Akubra hat?
Brush with a firm bristle brush, moving with the nap of the felt. If it gets wet, let it dry naturally and keep it well away from direct heat, which can warp the shape.
