Our take · Researched, not tested

Flames on black leather and three silver skulls. Subtlety stayed home.

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

Biker hats were never meant to blend in, and the Flames proves it. It is black midweight cowhide leather combined with nylon mesh, with a flame design that is airbrushed or laser printed. The leather band carries three silver skull ornaments. The top hat crown rises 4 1/2 in over a short 2 in brim, and an AHM Velcro sweatband sets the fit. It is assembled in the USA. Wear it to a bike rally, a rock show or a Halloween ride.

Walt's tip: Leather and mesh both dislike a hot trunk, so keep it out of a parked car between rides.

Questions

Which size of the Flames should I get?

Measure your head where the hat sits and match it to the chart. MD fits heads 22 to 22 3/4 in (56 to 57 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.

When would you wear the Flames?

Leather top hats suit festivals, Renaissance fairs, steampunk events and costume nights more than white-tie galas. Wear it level, and take it off indoors at the table.

Can you travel with the Flames?

Wear it on travel days. It isn't listed as packable, so it shouldn't go folded in a suitcase. On a plane, set it crown down in the overhead bin with nothing on top.

How do you care for a leather hat like the Flames?

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.
