There are 162 steps in the Akubra hat making process. Each hat passes through 50 pairs of hands. And there is one book that tells the story.

Akubra: Handcrafted History is part story, part myth, but 100 per cent icon. Richly illustrated with powerful historical and striking current images.

Priced at $69.95.
