Our take · Researched, not tested

Tooled brown leather that gives any hat a handmade look.

Tooling is the old craft of pressing patterns into leather, and it has decorated Western gear for a long time. The Fargo is a tooled leather hat band in brown with intricate detail along its length. It is the band only, so pair it with a felt or straw hat that needs a new look.

Walt's tip: Fit the band around the crown before you trim anything. You can always shorten a band, but you can't add length back.

Questions

How do you care for a leather hat like the Fargo?
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.
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.
