The Outback Club Hat is Back: A Legend Returns - Lee Kernaghan

For fans of Australian country music and timeless craftsmanship, this is a moment to celebrate. Akubra is bringing back a true icon—The Outback Club Hat, famously worn by country music legend Lee Kernaghan. Originally designed in Kempsey during a serendipitous stop on one of Lee’s tours, this hat quickly became an essential part of his signature look. Now, after years in the Akubra archives, it makes a highly anticipated return as part of the exclusive Legends Series. First released in 2008 to honour Lee Kernaghan being named Australian of the Year, The Outback Club Hat wasn’t just another hat—it was a statement. Named after one of Lee’s biggest hits, "The Outback Club," this hat became a symbol of resilience, mateship, and the heart of Australian country music. Worn on stage, featured on album covers, and embraced by country music lovers across the nation, the Outback Club Hat is a piece of history. Now, in celebration of Lee Kernaghan’s enduring legacy and his official role as an Akubra brand ambassador, we’re bringing this legend back. Available in two classic colours—Black and Quartz—The Outback Club Hat is crafted for those who live and breathe country, just like Lee himself. Shop: www.akubra.com.au/collections/the-outback-club
