Our take · Researched, not tested

Jurassic leather, a tall crown and a double row of beads.

By Margo Lane, straw and sun hats desk Pen name, fact-checked by our team

Leather is the outback hat for wind and rough days, though it runs warm once the sun is high. The Ambush is genuine leather in a Jurassic finish, with a cowboy-style crown that stands a tall 5 in and a 3 3/4 in brim. A double beaded band sits over a mocha suede underlay. Inside is an AHM velcro sweatband, and sizes run MD, LG and XL. The store lists it as assembled in the USA.

Margo's tip: Leather in heat means a damp sweatband. Let it air out crown-down after a long day, away from the dashboard.

Questions

How should it fit?

Level on your head, about a finger above your eyebrows, clearing the tops of your ears. Sizes in stock run MD to XL. MD fits heads 22 to 22 3/4 in (56 to 57 cm) on American Hat Makers' chart. Between sizes, size up and add an insert.

Is the Ambush UPF rated?

The listing doesn't state a UPF rating, so don't assume one. The 3 3/4 inch brim still gives real shade. Hold it up to a bright light: if light shows through, so does UV.

Does it pack flat?

The store doesn't list it as packable, so don't fold it. Folding can leave a permanent crease. Wear it when you travel, or set it crown down in the overhead bin.

How do you care for a leather hat like the Ambush?

Wipe it with a soft, barely damp cloth and let it dry away from heat, which can stiffen and crack leather. A leather conditioner keeps it supple; test it inside the crown first. Never machine-wash it.

Can you return it?

Per American Hat Makers, as stated on their site Nov 6, 2026, it offers 90-day easy returns. Policies change, so confirm on the store's page before you order.
