Our famous Crocodile Dundee Hat was inspired by the classic Australian Outback Style, which is well known for the genuine crocodile teeth surrounding the band. Looking in the mirror, measure the circumference of your head, holding the tape snug, but not too tight, about 5 mm above your ears, and position it in the center of your forehead or just above the eyebrows (depending on where you want your hat to sit).

In 1974 the government was decentralising businesses and the Akubra headquarters at Waterloo were getting too small. Using a tape measure, measure your head about one-half inch above your eyebrows where your hat will rest. At Eedrich, each hat is vintage hand-sourced, steamed and shaped, creatively visioned, and lovingly made. If a hat feels too loose initially, you can pack the inside of the crown to make the hat feel smaller, or use a hat Insert.

Although the Akubra team are known for being slow and steady, they also recognise when it’s important to adapt the new. Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. I’m not even computer literate, I’m surprised when I can manage to turn a computer on, but I recognise where things are headed.When Stephen finished school he stayed on in Sydney playing rugby and working for a company unloading and loading trucks. He was an inventor and hat maker that came out from England to Tasmania to work in the fur industry. The Keir siblings have navigated co-ownership with respect and care and they have become a formidable team.

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. The Keir siblings — Stacey, Stephen and Nikki, share with me where it all began with Benjamin Dunkerley. They developed a real fascination with Aussie products, and Akubra rode the wave of that fascination.

These techniques, combined with the use of only the finest materials available, result in a product that is not only beautiful but also durable and long-lasting. There is now a diverse number of options and there’ve been adjustments to brim size and shapes based on what is in fashion (bigger seems to be better these days), but essentially the bones of the hat are the same. Don an apron and cook up the perfect feast this festive period, as four family chefs bring Christmas dinner masterclasses to your home.
