Akubra, an iconic Australian hat brand since 1876, produces its felt hats at the Kempsey factory, which it moved to 50 years ago.
Each hat takes six weeks to make, involving 162 steps and 60 workers.
The hats are made from rabbit fur, which is felted and then shrunk, shaped, and stiffened with shellac.
After drying in a high-temperature room, they are polished, shaped, and finished with leather bands.
The factory produces up to 1,200 hats daily.
