From the iconic Akubra hats (minus the gimmick of corks) and RM Williams boots to the Driza-Bone oilskin coats, you’ll find all the main brands and outlets in Sydney. Generally speaking these world-famous brands and products are beautifully made and well worth the money. For example a pair of ‘RMs’ will, provided you look after them, last a lifetime. For a good range of souvenir products the many outlets in The Rocks (and weekend Rocks Market) are a good source.
