Our take · Researched, not tested

Black wool felt, a teardrop crown and a red dotted feather.

A black felt fedora is the standard against which most dress hats get measured. The Broadway is lightweight wool felt with a teardrop crown at 4 in and a 2 3/4 in brim, trimmed with a grosgrain ribbon and a short feather dotted in red. That bit of red is the only color on the hat, and it does a lot of work. Felt makes it a fall and winter hat, best with an overcoat or a dark suit. The AHM velcro sweatband adjusts. Imported.

Walt's tip: Take it off at the table and in the theater seat. A good fedora looks better resting on your knee anyway.

Questions

What do you wear with the Broadway?
A coat, a good knit or a jacket in cooler months. Wear it level or tipped slightly forward with the pinch in front, and handle it by the brim so the crown doesn't crack.
Can you travel with the Broadway?
Wear it on travel days. It isn't listed as packable, so it shouldn't go folded in a suitcase. For a checked bag, use a hat box with the crown stuffed.
How do you care for a felt hat like this?
A soft brush after dusty days, a rest on its crown, and no hot cars. If it gets rained on, shake it off, turn the sweatband down and let it air-dry at room temperature.
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.
