Coober Pedy traveller hat - Akubra
Coober Pedy is the world's largest opal stone mine.
This straw gives it its name, hence the name coober pedy. Imperial quality rabbit hair felt hat with three eyelets on each side to ventilate the head, with a beautiful trim enhanced by a genuine Australian opal mounted on a patterned Kangaroo leather trim.
A hat designed for casual wear, but can also be worn with more formal attire. Each hat trim is handcrafted from kangaroo leather. This leather is purchased under the Australian Control Authority at the country's prevailing rates. As such, each one is different in color and texture. This is a unique feature of kangaroo trim. Each band is distinguished in shade and texture and is coupled with an Australian opal sourced directly from the Coober Pedy Mines in South Australia. The result is a unique hat. The Coober Pedy hat by Akubra is a very popular furry felt hat for the city and the outback. Its brim slopes downwards at the front and back for protection from the sun and rain.
The pre-creased crown is 4 inches high at the front, 4-1/2 inches at the sides, its eyelets are fully lined. The rabbit felt is pure rabbit hair; the Akubra quality type is Imperial Akubra.

A little history of Coober Pedy
Coober Pedy comes from the Aboriginal piti kupu name, meaning "white Burrow 'Fellows'".
South Australia's famous opal fields were so named by local Aboriginals because miners dug tunnels not only to extract opal, but to live as such. 70% of Coober Pedy's inhabitants still live underground to escape the stifling heat and sun of this desert region.
The Coober Pedy hat doesn't quite provide the coolness and shade of a terrier, but it's the best thing if you have to get out in the sun, or rain. Think of it as your own portable terrier!
