Akubra hats are designed for the hot Australian sun. But they’re also designed for rain. There are no powders on an Akubra, so you don’t have to worry about streaking. There’s no need for plastic rain covers – these merely keep the felt from breathing properly and make your head uncomfortable.
If your hat gets wet, do not heat it. Heat will shrink the felt, as well as the leather. Stand the hat upside down on its crown, or hang on a hook in a cool place and let it dry naturally. Wet felt retains the shape in which it dries, so make sure the brim and crown are shaped as you want them before drying.
