Akubra Traveller!
Have you ever wished for a quality hat that will look as
good as you do at the end of a long trip? Look no further
- the Akubra
Traveller is the first hat released in Akubra's new Lifestyle Range,
combining surprisingly soft and lightweight fur-felt with an innovative
‘memory’, this hat will take incidental punishment and bounce back to
its original shape without damage.
It is indeed Truly Portable. Featuring a fedora-style crown and a 75mm
brim, this Akubra also incorporates a nylon monofilament stiffener for
improved brim shape - making the hat Exceptionally Hardwearing.

New Store Fit-Out
Well, it’s pretty new – just in time for the Sydney
2000 Olympic Games, the old interior was replaced to give us more room
to display a greater variety of hats. The only things we kept were the
quality men’s hats, the vibrant atmosphere, and the equally vibrant
staff!
