Our take · Researched, not tested

Rust felt, a curled brim, and no ribbon to hide behind.

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

Rust is a color that does a lot with very little, and this fedora lets it work alone. The wool felt takes a teardrop crown, 4 in tall, over a 3 3/4 in brim that curls at the edge. There's no band or trim at all. An adjustable drawstring in the sweatband lets you fine-tune the fit, and it comes in SM, MD and LG. Felt is the classic cooler-weather pick, so this one wants fall layers: a cream knit, dark denim, brown boots. It's imported.

Walt's tip: If you land between sizes, size up and snug the drawstring to close the gap rather than squeezing into the smaller one.

Questions

Which size of the Rustler 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. LG fits heads 22 7/8 to 23 1/2 in (58 to 59 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 Rustler?

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 travel with the Rustler?

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.
