Our take · Researched, not tested

A black cowhide top hat with a little devil peeking out of the band.

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

Some hats are serious. This one has a small devilish creature peeking out of its leather band, cinched with deerskin lacing. Under the mischief it's a proper black cowhide top hat: 4 in crown, 2 in brim, AHM velcro sweatband, assembled in the USA. Halloween is the obvious call, though it works any night you'd like your hat to start a conversation. Sizes MD to XL.

Walt's tip: Take it off at the dinner table like any other hat. Even the little devil knows better.

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 MD to XL. MD fits heads 22 to 22 3/4 in (56 to 57 cm) on American Hat Makers' chart. Between sizes, size up and add an insert.
When would you wear the Marlow?
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 Marlow?
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.
Do you sell this hat?
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.
