Our take · Researched, not tested

A black pinch-front fedora that can ride in a suitcase.

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

The pinch-front fedora has been a city staple for most of a century, and the Pablo makes one in crushable wool felt that AHM lists as packable. The crown stands 4 in with the classic pinch at the front, the brim is a short 2 in, and a grosgrain ribbon band with a bow finishes it. An adjustable velcro sweatband sits inside. Black dresses up a sport coat or tones down a leather jacket. Sizes SM to XL.

Walt's tip: Lift a fedora by the brim, front and back. Grabbing the pinch every time wears the felt thin there.

Questions

Which size of the Pablo should I get?

Measure your head where the hat sits and match it to the chart. SM fits heads 21 to 21 7/8 in (54 to 55 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.

What do you wear with the Pablo?

A coat, a good knit or a jacket in cooler months. Wear it level or tipped slightly forward with the pinch in front, and handle it by the brim so the crown doesn't crack.

Can you pack the Pablo?

Yes. The store lists it as packable or crushable. Pack it crown down at the top of your bag with the crown stuffed with socks, then reshape the brim with your hands when you arrive.

How do you care for a felt hat like this?

A soft brush after dusty days, a rest on its crown, and no hot cars. If it gets rained on, shake it off, turn the sweatband down and let it air-dry at room temperature.

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.
