ANNOUNCEMENT:
It is with a heavy heart that this will be your last chance to purchase an Akubra via BK8 Outfitters :(
It has been an absolute honour to have sold them in our Karratha Store and to have travelled across WA taking the Akubras to the country people and offering an amazing service in helping our customers find the right hat to suit and fit them.
Many memories and friendships were forms and cherished.
BACKGROUND:
Sun 19 Nov 2023
Tattarang, owned by Australian businessman Andrew “Twiggy” Forrest and his wife Nicola, has acquired Akubra from the Keir family, who trace their ownership back 147 years.
"This is a day for Akubra, a day for Kempsey, a day for Australia to keep a fantastic brand at home," Mr Forrest said.
