Our take · Researched, not tested

White leather top hat with a white braid. Hard to miss, harder to forget.

A white top hat is about as rare as they come, which is the point. The Ghost Rider is midweight cowhide leather in white, with a 4 in top hat crown, a 2 in brim and a braided leather band in matching white. An AHM Velcro sweatband adjusts the fit, and it is assembled in the USA. It fits a magician's act, a ringmaster costume, a white-tie theme party or a bike rally where everyone else wears black.

Walt's tip: White leather shows every scuff. Keep it in a hat box between wears and set it down crown first.

Questions

How should it fit?
Level on your head, about a finger above your eyebrows, clearing the tops of your ears. Sizes in stock run SM to XL. SM fits heads 21 to 21 7/8 in (54 to 55 cm) on American Hat Makers' chart. Between sizes, size up and add an insert.
When would you wear the Ghost Rider?
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.
Does it pack flat?
The store doesn't list it as packable, so don't fold it. Folding can leave a permanent crease. Wear it when you travel, or set it crown down in the overhead bin.
How do you care for a leather hat like the Ghost Rider?
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.
Can you return it?
Per American Hat Makers, as stated on their site Nov 6, 2026, it offers 90-day easy returns. Policies change, so confirm on the store's page before you order.

No. American Hat Makers sells it. The store button opens their product page, and we earn a commission if you buy, at no cost to you.
