Our take · Researched, not tested

Chestnut leather outback for weekends with a trailhead in them.

By Margo Lane, straw and sun hats desk Pen name, fact-checked by our team

Warm reddish-brown cowhide gives this Midnight Rider a little more color than the black version, and it pairs easily with olive, cream and denim. The outback crown sits at 3 3/4 in with a short 2 3/4 in brim, and a leather band carries a concho at the side. AHM velcro sits in the sweatband. It's assembled in the USA, in sizes from SM to beyond XX. Leather shrugs off wind, though it runs warm on hot days.

Margo's tip: Keep it off the dashboard on sunny drives. Leather and trapped heat are a bad pairing.

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 3X. 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.

Is the Midnight Rider UPF rated?

The listing doesn't state a UPF rating, so don't assume one. Shade depends on the brim and how tight the weave is. Hold it up to a bright light: if light shows through, so does UV.

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 Midnight 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.
