Akubra Sombrero

The Akubra Sombrero is built for the elements and crafted for timeless style. Famously worn by the Bush Tucker Man, this hat is designed to withstand the harsh Australian sun while offering unmatched durability and protection. Its wide brim and classic silhouette make it a trusted choice for adventurers, farmers, and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Whether you’re working the land, trekking through the bush, or spending long days under the sun, the Sombrero blends practicality with heritage craftsmanship. A true testament to Akubra’s enduring quality, it’s more than just a hat—it’s a companion for life in the great outdoors.

Features:
- 127mm (side) and 118mm (front & back) brim
- 180mm crown height
- Open crown
- Leather inner sweatband
- Unlined
- Calf-hide outer band
- Eyelets for ventilation
- Cut edge

Please note:  Consider carefully before shaping, as steamed crown shapes make the hat non-returnable.  

Steaming the felt "sets" the material, which disables the capacity of returning it to its originally manufactured open crown shape.

Follow the below steps to discover the best fit for you:

1. Hold the end of flexible tape-measure (the end showing 0cm) to the centre of your forehead, approximately 2cm above your brow line.

2. Wrap the tape backwards around your head, making sure that it is wound straight and level and sits about 1cm above the ear.

There is a bump on the back of the head. Ensure that the tape sits on this bump for the most accurate measurement

3. Bring tape back to your forehead (maintaining 1cm height above the opposite ear) and taking note of cm measurement where the tapes meet.

Use this centimetre measurement to determine correct size according to sizing  charts.

Note:

• It is recommended that half-cm measurements step up to the next whole size i.e. 59.5cm would choose a size 60cm
• Hat makers often follow different sizing metrics, so please refer to individual brand sizing charts for accurate conversion.
