Product Information

Stacey shares that she didn’t ever feel there was a place for her and Nikki in the business until their Dad got sick with emphysema. The Keir kids grew up between Sydney and Kempsey, following their father, Stephen Senior, as he expanded the Akubra operations with a new factory at Kempsey. Just before Stephen Senior passed, it became clear that the business would be handed down to the three of them in equal rights, which blew Nikki away.

That crumpled up felt hat that would spring into form with a couple of fist punches in the right places, slightly out of shape from years of wear, perhaps a couple of stains from the sweat of the brow or the oil rig at the back shed. Products that contain small parts may pose a choking hazard and should not be used by children under 3. Even though all three kids worked at the factory as holiday jobs for pocket money, there was never any expectation for them to enter the family business.But here's where it gets even more ripper—genuine Australian crocodile backstrap and teeth make up the Dundee's hatband. We get very narrow minded sometimes because that’s what we do and that’s what we think and sometimes these other people bring a completely different perspective to the table. Kakadu Traders Australia is a family owned and operated company from Australia that has been manufacturing quality outerwear and hats since 1972.

Although this might seem like an anti-commercial approach to business for some, Stephen tells me that this is the romance in what they do. From the sourcing of the fur to the making of the hats, you could ask him any question and he knows the answer. With so many different styles, you’re sure to find the perfect hat to fit your taste and personality and because we want you to be able to enjoy your new hat for years to come. We bring this vision to life through time-honored techniques passed down from artisan to apprentice for generations. const productVariant = {"id":"2c787b6a-69d2-41e3-b2d7-84b19bb99a3e","product_id":"53a7e488-3df4-43b1-ab96-2f04d2965cb0","title":"Black-S","weight_unit":"kg","inventory_quantity":0,"sku":"hap23022001003","barcode":"","position":1,"option1":"Black","option2":"S","option3":"","note":"","image":{"src":"\/\/img.Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places.
