Our take · Researched, not tested

Oatmeal felt and leather, with a Riverton band tied at a diamond concho.

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

Oatmeal is a warm off-white, softer than cream, and on the Reckless it covers a build that pairs wool felt with genuine leather. The western crown rises 4 1/4 in, the brim is 3 in, and the Riverton band layers two intertwined strands with a diamond concho tie and knot. Inside, an adjustable drawstring takes care of fit. Assembled in the USA, it runs SM through XL. Wear it with a denim jacket to a fall rodeo.

Cody's tip: Light hats show dirt first, cowboy. Handle it by the brim and keep greasy fingers off the crown.

Questions

Which size of the Reckless 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.

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.

Can you travel with the Reckless?

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.
