One of the labels has the model name and number.The other indicates that it is a hat made for a specific retailer.Akubra has done exclusives for several retailers;Outback Trading,David Morgan,Hats Direct,etc.View attachment 73751 View attachment 73750 View attachment 73748 View attachment 73749 Just got one off ebay for 50 bucks in my size. Anybody have any info on what any these labels mean? To me it seems it made specifically for the west (US of A). Im not sure though.
I looked up the company and they're not selling the hat in their site. Makes me want to believe that it's rareOne of the labels has the model name and number.The other indicates that it is a hat made for a specific retailer.Akubra has done exclusives for several retailers;Outback Trading,David Morgan,Hats Direct,etc.
I kinda doubt that ANY Akubra is very rare.You'll find that over time they change/rename/modify models.The Adventurer is an example.In other cases they might add brim binding or grommets and change the name.I looked up the company and they're not selling the hat in their site.

Looks like a nice hat, cant wait.I kinda doubt that ANY Akubra is very rare.You'll find that over time they change/rename/modify models.The Adventurer is an example.In other cases they might add brim binding or grommets and change the name.

Yea. There's a photo showing the lining and it has the akubra logo.Are you sure it's Akubra? It may be on the crown although it is usually on the band. There are a few hat manufacturers in Australia that it could be by.
I gotta ask how do you guess an akubras age? I havent found much on this particular hatI see now
It looks pretty new as the lining is clean and the printing clear. The measurement is in metric which came into Australia in 1972, so less than 45 years old
