Did you know that we can reshape your Akubra
We can also clean and stretch your hat (Within reason 😉)
It never ceases to amaze me what our master hat shaper Naomi can achieve.
This was an Akubra Slouch hat and is now shaped like a COOBERPEDY .
It now has a new life .
And the owner is certainly going to get a lot more wear out of it:)
Bring in your hat to have it accessed obligation free by our lovely.
Check out our story to see the progress photos.

Timeless Tuesday
Is there anything more elegant than a gorgeous hat?
Would you like to see more hats at the races or are you a fascinator wearer?
We love a good hat although we have a great range of fasinators . They are perfect for any occasion:)

I’m interested- How did you decide when it was time to retire old faithful
and get a fresh new Akubra!

I would say at least 6 months ago maybe 1 year ago for this one lol.
Definitely an upgrade was well due !

He has gone from a Riverina to a rough Rider for something a bit different:)

The best way is to have 2 🙂
One for wearing out and one for everyday wear!

I think the first one missed the retirement boat😉

Would love to know where they are now!
I believe they are still touring:)
