Our take · Researched, not tested

Gray felt goes with denim, tweed and a rainy Tuesday.

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

Gray is the sneaky smart pick in hats. It plays nice with navy, black, denim and tweed, and it won't argue with your coat. The Chi-Town in gray is crushable wool felt with a low pork pie crown at 3 1/2 in and a short 2 in brim. A bowed grosgrain ribbon wraps the crown, and the sweatband adjusts with Velcro. Packable per the listing, imported, and built for cooler months when felt makes sense. Wear it with a peacoat and you'll look like you know a guy who knows a guy.

Cody's tip: Brush gray felt counterclockwise with a soft hat brush after a dusty day. Lint shows on gray faster than it does on black.

Questions

Which size of the Chi-Town 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 Chi-Town 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 pack the Chi-Town?

Yes. The store lists it as packable or crushable. Pack it crown down at the top of your bag with the crown stuffed with socks, then reshape the brim with your hands when you arrive.

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.
