The Outback Club Hat is Back.
First designed in Kempsey after a chance visit during one of Lee Kernaghan’s tours, this iconic Akubra became a defining part of his image—worn on stages, album covers, and embraced by fans across the country. Originally released in 2008, the hat is now making a long-awaited return from the Akubra archives for a special release of the Legends Series.
Worn by Lee and synonymous with his legacy, The Outback Club hat is more than just headwear—it’s a symbol of Australian country music history. As we celebrate Lee Kernaghan as an official Akubra brand ambassador, now’s your chance to own a piece of this legacy.
