Our take · Researched, not tested

A black leather trilby with a stingy brim and good posture.

Trilbies have always worn short brims, and at 1 1/2 in this one keeps the tradition tight. It's lightweight black cowhide leather shaped into a fedora crown 3 3/4 in tall, with a sewn fabric band around the base. Inside is a Velcro sweatband. Leather stands up to wind and handling, though it runs warm on hot days, so this is a fall and evening hat. Wear it with a dark overcoat or a leather jacket. Sizes MD to XL, assembled in the USA.

Walt's tip: Take it off indoors at the table. A trilby on a coat hook is still a good look.

Questions

How should it fit?
Level on your head, about a finger above your eyebrows, clearing the tops of your ears. Sizes in stock run MD to XL. MD fits heads 22 to 22 3/4 in (56 to 57 cm) on American Hat Makers' chart. Between sizes, size up and add an insert.
What do you wear with the Soho?
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.
Does it pack flat?
The store doesn't list it as packable, so don't fold it. Folding can leave a permanent crease. Wear it when you travel, or set it crown down in the overhead bin.
How do you care for a leather hat like the Soho?
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.
Can you return it?
Per American Hat Makers, as stated on their site Nov 6, 2026, it offers 90-day easy returns. Policies change, so confirm on the store's page before you order.
