Our take · Researched, not tested

Charcoal felt outback for gray skies and gray coats.

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

Charcoal sits between black and gray, so it looks sharp with a navy peacoat or a gray parka without seeming stark. The Pathfinder in charcoal is wool felt, shaped as an outback with a 4 in crown and a 3 in brim. Tails hang from its faux leather band, and the velcro sweatband adjusts. Right now it's offered in LG and XL. It's a natural for winter walks with the dog and ski-town weekends.

Margo's tip: Hats come off indoors at the table. Set this one crown-down on a chair so the brim keeps its line.

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 LG to XL. LG fits heads 22 7/8 to 23 1/2 in (58 to 59 cm) on American Hat Makers' chart. Between sizes, size up and add an insert.
Is the Pathfinder UPF rated?
The listing doesn't state a UPF rating, so don't assume one. The 3 inch brim still gives real shade. 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 clean the Pathfinder?
Brush felt with a soft hat brush, counterclockwise, and lift lint with a barely damp cloth or a lint roller. Keep it away from heat, which can shrink felt, and store it on its crown so the brim keeps its shape.
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.
