"The Dusty Dawn is now my favorite model and is of excellent quality as are all Akubra hats. I have worn different styles for years on the ranch."
"Super comfy extremely stylish hat. Been made with impeccable quality as all my Akubra hats have. The new colour looks great and goes well with a wide range of clothing"
"so the thing is I’m not really a big cowboy hat kind of guy. I’ve got three Akubra’s. The first one is an Avalon in Hazelnut which is a great all rounder. The second one is the Cattleman in Graphite Grey. It’s quintessential Aussie. It even helped win me a prize at the Surat races for best dressed couple! And now the third one is the Dusty Dawn in Spice. Here’s the thing … is it’s the Dusty Dawn I find myself reaching for when I want to put on a Akubra these days. This hat sits well and looks so good. I’m really glad I got it. My only dilemma now is how much wear are the other two we’re gonna get?"
"I’ve had this hat for a few months now buying it with the intention to take on many adventures which it has done! Through the build up in the Kimberley and now through the wet season the hat keeps you cool with an added bonus for keeping the water off your face when those monsoonal thunderstorms come through! I read the reviews and bought a size up and now the hat has shrunk down to my correct size perfect. Using the hat fillers to adjust in the teething phase."
"Very happy with the Dusty Dawn. I never buy anything for " compĺiments" but Ive had severaĺ. Its a top quality product as expected from Akubra"
"Love it, a great stylish had that's not quite a full cowboy hat. My 3rd akubra and very impressed with the fit and look of this one."
"I bought this for my daughter, and it's absolutely beautiful. She loves it."
"I feel very cool wearing this hat"
"Birthday present for my daughter, she loves it"
"Great hat, needed a few mods, made my way from a golden spur to this, and it's pretty good. Getting some use and wearing it in. ***youtu***/wQhOcg1V2Uw"
THE [call] TO ADVENTURE
Akubra has always been a marker of time—not of trends, but of moments, passed down through generations. While the world moved fast, we held onto the slow, steady rhythm of the land and the stories it tells.
Rooted in tradition, this campaign invites a new generation to trade fast fashion for lasting legacy—to discover adventure in the things that truly endure.
The call to adventure isn’t just about the destination. It’s about what you wear when you arrive.
This is a call to the ones who seek a life of adventure. For those who find beauty in utility, pride in tradition, and freedom in the wild.
Worn by farmers, cowboys, musicians, and icons alike, the Akubra remains timeless.
Beneath The Brim
Every brim carries a story. Some are passed down, others have just begun. In the days ahead, we’ll be introducing you to these legends, whose ties to Akubra run deep, in ways old and new.
HERITAGE
Founded in Tasmania by Benjamin Dunkerley in 1876, the Akubra hat is built for exploration and handcrafted for toughness and has become a pure Australian icon.
PROVENANCE
Born in Australia. Made in Kempsey. It takes 6 weeks to make an Akubra hat, there are 162 steps in the process, passing through 60 pairs of hands.
QUALITY
Handcrafted from the finest materials. Rabbit fur felt is an inherently strong and water resistant fibre, designed to withstand the harshest of environments.
