We are committed to helping you find the correct fitting belt. Follow this simple guide to get fitted correctly.

The best way to prolong the life of your Akubra hat is to store it properly when not wearing it and to keep it clean.

Storing:
Always store you hat in a well ventilated area. Make sure it is free of damp, mould and possible insect damage. If you aren't going to wear it regularly, make a point of checking it every few weeks.
If you don't have a purpose designed hat box (or the box your hat was shipped in with the inbuilt hat support), store the hat on the crown (upside down) or on a hat rack/hook to prevent any brim distortion.

DO NOT leave your hat in a vehicle for any period of time as this may result in shrinkage and distortion of the hat.

Cleaning:
Use a hat brush to give your Akubra hat a regular brush (anticlockwise direction). The is prevent any dust and dirt from settling into the fibres.
Keep the inner leather band clean and supple by regularly cleaning and conditioning with good quality leather care products.

No, but we do make some styles in small sizes.

Unfortunately our factory is not set up to handle one-off requests for customised styles and colours.

If you are between sizes, choose the larger sizes as Akubra hats do not stretch and may even tighten over time (depending on the way they are treated). It is easier to add padding to a hat that is too large to make it smaller than it is to try and stretch a small hat to make it larger.

Akubra Hats regularly independently tests is fur felt hats for Ultraviolet Protection. Samples are sent to the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Saftey Agency (ARPANSA), a federal government agency. Akubra then recieves an Ultraviolet Protection Factory (UPF) rating.

The UPF rating indicates how effective a fabric is at blocking out solar ultraviolet radiation. This testing is performed according to Australian/ New Zealand standard AS/NZS 4399. UPF ratings range from 15 to 50 with higher ratings indicating more effective blocking and therefore better protection for the wearer of a garment made from the fabric. Fabrics that test higher than UPF 50 are rated as UPF 50+.

Most Akubra Fur Felt hats are currently rated at UPF50+, and as such are classified as EXCELLENT under the UPF Classification System.
