Our take · Researched, not tested

A brown feather that gives a plain hat something to talk about.

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

A feather is the oldest trick for making a hat your own. The Corky is a brown hat feather with a sturdy base meant to tuck into a band and stay put, even on a breezy day. It works on many hat styles, so it can move from your felt to your straw as the season turns. Note that you are buying the feather only, with no hat attached.

Walt's tip: Tuck the base under the band on the left side of the crown, the traditional spot, and angle the tip toward the back.
