Our take · Researched, not tested

Skull and crossbones, front and center. This band means business.

A skull and crossbones sits right in the middle of this leather band, so there's no mistaking where the front of your hat is. It turns a plain black felt or a worn leather hat into something with a little menace. It's sold as the band only, ready for a hat you already own.

Walt's tip: Center the skull on the front of the crown, lined up with your nose, so the hat reads straight on.

Side view on a 7 in head, drawn to scale. Dashed lines mean the store doesn't list that number.

Great for

  • Giving a plain hat an edgier look
  • Marking the front of the hat with a center skull

Skip it if

  • You need a hat that packs flat: the store doesn't list it as packable
  • You need a fitted size: this one is one size

Questions

How do you care for a leather hat like the 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.
