What is the best way to handle and store an Akubra?

Gentle Handling: Avoid pinching the front of the hat when putting it on. This prevents a sharp point from forming and will be the first place the felt will wear and result in a hole.

Maintain Shape: When not wearing your hat, store it upside down on its crown to keep the brim in shape, otherwise it will warp.

Reshape with Steam: Use steam (from a boiled kettle) to reshape the crown and prevent pinches and creases. Avoid steaming the inner leather sweatband, this may shrink the band.

Storage Tip: Best place to store your Akubra is upside down on the crown in an open space, not in direct sunlight. If storing in a cupboard, add cedar wood or mothballs to prevent insect damage. Avoid leaving in damp spaces for extended periods of time as mould can produce.

Measuring Your Head Size

Every Akubra hat is made to last, and while it will adjust slightly to your head over time, choosing the right size ensures lasting comfort and a perfect fit.

Measuring your head for the right hat size is simple—just follow these three steps:

What You’ll Need

Grab a flexible measuring tape. If you don’t have one, a piece of string and a ruler will do the trick.

Step 1: Measure Where the Hat Will Sit

Wrap the measuring tape (or string) around your head, positioning it just above your ears and about a finger’s width above your eyebrows. This is where your Akubra will naturally sit.

Make sure the tape is level all the way around and sits firmly—but not too tight. You want a comfortable fit, not a squeeze.

Step 2: Record Your Size

Take note of the measurement in centimetres. If you're using a string, simply mark where the ends meet, then lay it flat against a ruler.

Step 3: Choose the Right Size

If your measurement falls between sizes, we recommend sizing up for comfort. Akubra hats are designed to mold to your head over time—so a slightly looser fit is ideal, especially as natural factors like heat and sweat can cause the hat to shrink a little.

Your Akubra hat is more than just a hat—it's a trusted companion built to last. With the right care, you can keep it looking great for years to come.
