Akubra
{a-KOO-bra}
The quintessential Australian cowboy hat since at least the late 1800s.
More rugged and utilitarian in appearance than its American cousin the Stetson, its durability and all-weather use means make it particularly well-loved by Australian stockmen and farmers. Akubras (along with Mountcastles) are also worn by members of the Australian Defence Force.
Name believed to be derived from an Aboriginal word for head covering.
