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.

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.
