Our take · Researched, not tested

Black felt cattleman. The hat every villain and every groomsman agrees on.

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

There's a reason the black cattleman is the cowboy hat people picture first. Tall crease down the middle, dents on the sides, wide brim, done. This one stands 4 1/2 in at the crown with a 4 in brim, made from midweight Australian wool felt, and a felt self band is held by a silver buckle. It's the felt-season choice for weddings, funerals and Saturday nights. Adjustable velcro sweatband, SM through XL, imported.

Cody's tip: Black felt shows every speck of dust. Brush it counterclockwise before you head out.

Questions

Which size of the Cattleman 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. XL fits heads 23 5/8 to 24 1/4 in (60 to 61 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 Cattleman 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 Cattleman?
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.
