Hats + Sydney

Hello.

I'm visiting Sydney in August and I'm determined to get a Barmah or
Akubra hat. Can anyone suggest a decent outlet?

Cheers,

I'd have thought Gowings would have that kind of thing.

I've checked - and they do.
Thanks Daniel,

Four years ago we got very nice Akubra hats, at a reasonable price at
the Strand Hatters. They are at Shop 8/ 412 George St in Sydney, which
is a arcade off George Steet between King and Market.

Thanks Cyril. They do have a website http://www.strandhatters.com.au
according to Google but it didn't work for me.

Good show! But someone should volunteer to proof-read thier text.
"Australia's beat souvenirs"?

I recall that the prices were competative with Gowings, and the service
was very good. Just hats, and the owner knows them.

Personally, I'd recommend against the iconic Akubra. They can be a real
mess if crushed before properly broken in (think: airline overhead racks,
etc.) I personally wear the leather crushable versions, which have the
added advantage of getting beaten up more quickly so one can actually wear
them in Australia.
