Our take · Researched, not tested

Leather meets wool felt in a black western hat with a diamond concho.

By Cody Hale, cowboy hats desk Pen name, fact-checked by our team

The Reckless combines wool felt with genuine leather, all in black, two materials that each bring their own texture. The western crown stands 4 1/4 in over a 3 in brim, and the band is a Riverton double layer, intertwined, with a diamond concho tie and a knot. An adjustable drawstring handles the sweatband. It's assembled in the USA in LG and XL. Leather handles wind, felt handles cool nights, and this one has both.

Cody's tip: Do your hat a favor and keep it off the truck dash. Felt and leather both hate a hot cab.

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.

Can you wear the Reckless in summer?

You can, at night shows, weddings and anywhere air-conditioned, but felt runs warm on a hot afternoon. Tradition puts felt from Labor Day to Memorial Day and straw in between, per Resistol.

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 Reckless?

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.
