Sentimental Akubra Hat



BRONZED AKUBRA HAT.

The trademark name ‘Akubra’, which is an Aboriginal word for head covering has become an Australian Icon. The shape is identical with the landscape of outback Australia, with a sharply rising and falling, rough, or jagged surface

I believe they made over 20 different styles of hats for the new Film “Australia”

Our customer was not part of that Film. He traveled across Australia for many years taking accurate measurements of land areas in order to determine boundaries, elevations, and dimensions. The Akubra has protected millions of Australians against harsh conditions like sun, wind and rain.
The hat was on his head 6-7 days per week and became his best friend (beside his wife that traveled with him) On his retirement the wife sent the sentimental worn out hat to be Bronzed.
The Bronzed hat is now a showcase with many stories to be told.
At Chrometech we not only Chrome on plastic and fiberglass but any material can be electroplated.

Why not Bronze your sentimental items?
