Our take · Researched, not tested

Black leather, a silver skull, and the posture of a proper top hat.

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

The top hat started out as a gentleman's daily wear and ended up on rock stages, and this one clearly took the second road. It's midweight black cowhide with an airbrushed, laser-printed silver skull, and the leather band is laced with deerskin and hung with skull ornaments. The crown rises 4 1/2 in over a 2 in brim. There's a Velcro sweatband inside, it's assembled in the USA, and sizes run MD to XL. Leather runs warm, so save it for cool nights, concerts and Halloween.

Walt's tip: A top hat should sit straight and level. If it keeps tipping back, you need a different size rather than a tighter grip, so check our size chart.

Questions

Which size of the Silver Skull should I get?

Measure your head where the hat sits and match it to the chart. MD fits heads 22 to 22 3/4 in (56 to 57 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.

When would you wear the Silver Skull?

Leather top hats suit festivals, Renaissance fairs, steampunk events and costume nights more than white-tie galas. Wear it level, and take it off indoors at the table.

Can you travel with the Silver Skull?

Wear it on travel days. It isn't listed as packable, so it shouldn't go folded in a suitcase. On a plane, set it crown down in the overhead bin with nothing on top.

How do you care for a leather hat like the Silver Skull?

Wipe it with a soft, barely damp cloth and let it dry away from heat, which can stiffen and crack leather. A leather conditioner keeps it supple; test it inside the crown first. Never machine-wash it.

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.
