The Akubra Overlander is a weather-resistant outback hat featuring a pinched telescope crown and a rolled raw-edge brim designed to shed rain and block sun. Akubra has been making fur-felt hats in Kempsey, New South Wales since 1912. The name is an Australian working-hat institution. This Heritage Collection model uses a tight rabbit-fur felt structure that holds its shape after a soaking and sheds water better than wool hats.

Our Wei's team likes these products because the pure rabbit-fur felt stands up to years of outdoor work. The Overlander is trimmed with a hand-braided six-strand leather hat band featuring end fringe and braided keepers. The interior is fully lined and finished with a reeded roan leather sweatband that forms a secure fit against your brow. Built to provide a maximum UPF 50+ sun protection rating, it provides clean, practical coverage for the ranch or daily wear.

Built for: station hands, travelers, and outdoor workers who need a durable, wide-brimmed fur felt hat that handles wind and rain.

Sizing and Fit

Akubra hats run true to European centimeter sizing. Our team suggests measuring the exact circumference of your head just above the ears to find your correct size. If you are between sizes, we recommend selecting the larger size; the inner roan leather sweatband will naturally shrink slightly and conform to your head shape over the first few weeks of wear.
