Our take · Researched, not tested

Chocolate brown felt outback. Warm color, cool weather.

A deep chocolate felt looks rich next to camel, cream and rust, and it hides the dust from a dirt road. This women's Pathfinder is wool felt with a 4 in outback crown and a 3 in brim. Its faux leather band finishes in tails, and the velcro sweatband adjusts. Sizes run SM through XL. It's a good companion for apple orchards, horseback trail rides and football tailgates.

Margo's tip: Size up if you're between sizes. A felt hat that's too tight by the second quarter gets taken off and forgotten.

Questions

Which size of the Pathfinder 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.
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.
Can you travel with the Pathfinder?
Wear it on travel days. It isn't listed as packable, so it shouldn't go folded in a suitcase. For a checked bag, use a hat box with the crown stuffed.
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.
