Our take · Researched, not tested

Brown leather top hat for a steampunk gentleman.

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

Brown leather moves a top hat away from formal black tie and toward the steampunk end of things, with goggles, brass and a waistcoat. This Bromley is midweight cowhide, unbanded, with a 4 in crown and a 2 in brim. The AHM velcro sweatband adjusts the fit, and sizes run SM through XL. Assembled in the USA.

Walt's tip: Since it's unbanded, you can add a band of your own. Measure the crown at its base before buying one.

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 SM to XL. SM fits heads 21 to 21 7/8 in (54 to 55 cm) on American Hat Makers' chart. Between sizes, size up and add an insert.

When would you wear the Bromley?

Leather top hats suit festivals, Renaissance fairs, steampunk events and costume nights more than white-tie galas. Wear it level, and take it off indoors at the table.

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 Bromley?

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.

Do you sell this hat?

No. American Hat Makers sells it. The store button opens their product page, and we earn a commission if you buy, at no cost to you.
