Our take · Researched, not tested

Brown wool felt with leather lace. The everyday cowboy hat, minus the drama.

By Cody Hale, cowboy hats desk Pen name, fact-checked by our team

Brown felt is the cowboy hat equivalent of a good pair of jeans. It goes with everything and nobody asks questions. The Bronson is wool felt with a western crown at 4 1/4 in and a 3 1/2 in brim, which is the sweet spot between shade and fitting through a door. The band is leather, wrapped with round leather lacing. Felt makes it your fall and winter hat. Adjustable velcro sweatband, SM to LG, imported.

Cody's tip: Brush counterclockwise with a soft hat brush. Going the wrong way is how felt gets a bad hair day.

Questions

Which size of the Bronson should I get?

Measure your head where the hat sits and match it to the chart. SM fits heads 21 to 21 7/8 in (54 to 55 cm) on American Hat Makers' chart. LG fits heads 22 7/8 to 23 1/2 in (58 to 59 cm) on American Hat Makers' chart. Between sizes, American Hat Makers says to size up and use the foam insert it includes.

Can you wear the Bronson in summer?

You can, at night shows, weddings and anywhere air-conditioned, but felt runs warm on a hot afternoon. Tradition puts felt from Labor Day to Memorial Day and straw in between, per Resistol.

Can you travel with the Bronson?

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.
