Our take · Researched, not tested

Copper leather and mesh, with a chin cord for windy ridgelines.

Leather is an unusual pick for a sun hat, and the Sirocco hedges its bet with nylon mesh in the crown. The copper cowhide is lightweight, the outback crown stands 3 3/4 in, and the brim reaches 2 3/4 in, which is moderate shade for the face rather than full cover. An adjustable leather chin cord keeps it on when the wind picks up, and a braided leather band with a leather tassel finishes it. The feature list says it resists water. Velcro sweatband, assembled in the USA, sizes SM to XX.

Margo's tip: Cinch the chin cord before the gust, not after. Hats leave in the first second of wind.

Questions

Which size of the Sirocco 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. XX fits heads 24 3/8 to 24 7/8 in (62 to 63 cm) on American Hat Makers' chart. Between sizes, American Hat Makers says to size up and use the foam insert it includes.
Is the Sirocco UPF rated?
The listing doesn't state a UPF rating, so don't assume one. Shade depends on the brim and how tight the weave is. Hold it up to a bright light: if light shows through, so does UV.
Can you travel with the Sirocco?
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 Sirocco?
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.
