Our take · Researched, not tested

Black leather straps, brass rings and rivets. Hardware for your hat.

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

Black leather straps carry a row of brass rings, and rivets hold each one in place. It's a band with real hardware in it, and it gives a plain felt cowboy or a dark fedora a tougher edge. You're buying the band only, so bring your own hat. The brass warms up nicely against black, brown or gray felt.

Walt's tip: Before you swap bands, note where the old one sat on the crown and set this one at the same height.

Questions

How do you care for a leather hat like the SR2?

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.
