First designed in Kempsey after a chance meeting with country music star Lee Kernaghan, The Outback Club Akubra quickly became part of his iconic look — worn on stage, album covers, and embraced by fans nationwide. Originally released in 2008, it returns as part of Akubra’s Legends Series, celebrating Lee’s legacy as both a performer and an Akubra brand ambassador.
With a cattleman crown, 100mm brim, and ventilation eyelets, this hat delivers durability and comfort. Inside, it features a satin lining and leather sweatband embossed with Lee’s signature in gold, while the ribbon outer band with brass pin completes the look. More than just a hat, it’s a piece of Australian country heritage — a true companion for horse riders, country music fans, and outdoor adventurers alike.
