Akubra Care

Brushing Your Akubra

To keep your Akubra in shape it's best to give it a brush from time to time in an anti-clockwise direction with a soft bristled brush over a shot of steam (a kettle will do nicely). This will assist in returning the fur back to its original direction.

 

Your Akubra as a Rain Hat

Your Akubra makes a great rain hat. However if it becomes wet it is important that it be cared for correctly. Do not force dry the hat if it has become wet. The inside leather band will shrink and once this happens it is hard to stretch back to its original size. Akubra hats are shower-proof and include a water proofing solution. As the hat ages the water proofing during manufacture may break down and the felt will absorb water. However, generally your head will remain dry.

 

Hat Stand

To prevent distortion when not being worn, rest the hat upside down on the crown or hang it on a hat peg or hat rack.
