A Solicitor, a farmer, a  journalist and a writer known and loved for many a decade as he penned the famous verse ‘There was movement at the station’ He would have been proud of this hat made in his name by Akubra, Australia’s oldest hat maker.

The Heritage Collection is Akubra’s line of premium quality hats. The felt is produced from a selected blend of specially graded rabbit fur which allows a longer shrinking process. This process develops 25% more shrinkage, resulting in a denser and stronger felt. The band is made from the leather of one our Aussies greatest fish, the Barramundi, it’s the natural leather from this fish that makes it very unique! Each and every band is different. Some dark, some light, some a bit thicker than the other so each and every one is custom-made and unique in every way!
