The Lightning Ridge from Akubra’s Heritage Collection is a classic hat in the best Australian tradition, a hat you can wear in the city or out in the field. The pre-creased crown is 4-1/2 inches high at the sides, the 3 inch raw-edge brim is tilted down in front and back. The neat leather band sports an opal (8 mm. oval triplet) on the side, as might suit the successful opal miner. Premium quality pure fur felt, fully lined. Reeded roan leather sweatband. UPF rating 50+. Made in Australia.
