Our take · Researched, not tested

A braided band that buckles shut in antique brass.

By Walt Mercer, felt, fit and care desk Pen name, fact-checked by our team

A buckled band looks right on most western hats. The Braidy is made of faux leather strips braided together, closing at an antique brass buckle, with a leather keeper to hold the tail. Brass and brown go well with tan, chocolate and black felt alike. Imported.

Walt's tip: Set the buckle at the left side of the hat, the traditional spot for a band's closure.

Questions

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

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.

What if it doesn't fit?

American Hat Makers states 90-day easy returns (per American Hat Makers, as stated on their site Nov 6, 2026). Check the store's current policy before you buy; its page is the final word.
