    How to Choose the Right Cowboy Hat

    Consider your climate:
    The climate you plan to wear your cowboy hat should heavily influence the material and style you choose. In warmer climates, a straw cowboy hat is an excellent choice for its ventilation and sun protection. For colder environments, a felt hat with a thicker construction will provide the necessary warmth and shield against the cold.

    Match your face shape:

    • Round face: Balance your round face shape with sharp angles. A cowboy hat with a high crown and slanted brim will suit your face nicely
    • Oval face: A hat with a wider brim and medium to tall crown will be the most flattering
    • Square face: Wear hats that soften harsher angles. Rounded cowboy hats with curved brims help counter your strong jaw

    Choose based on use:

    • Ranch work, outdoor activities: Leather or wool for durability and weather resistance
    • Summer festivals, casual wear: Straw for breathability and light weight
    • Formal western events: Felt for polished appearance and traditional style
    • Year-round versatility: Wool felt for water resistance and shape retention

    FAQs

    Conner cowboy hats are made from Australian wool felt, organic raffia, straw (Bangora, toyo and palm) and genuine leather (cowhide and buffalo hide). Wool hats offer water resistance and durability for cold weather. Leather hats provide rugged durability for outdoor use. Raffia straw hats are lightweight and breathable for summer wear.

    Felt hats are suitable for colder weather, while straw and vented hats are breathable and better for warmer climates. Choose straw (like raffia) for temperatures above 70°F—they're lightweight and allow airflow. Choose felt or wool for cooler weather and year-round wear—they're water-resistant and provide insulation. Leather works for both but runs warmer in summer heat.

    Conner Hats' Limited Lifetime Guarantee covers workmanship failures on purchases from connerhats.com. If a hat has a workmanship failure within 12 months, we'll replace it with the same style, size and colour, with shipping paid. After 12 months, a 40% off replacement is available, with shipping not included. If your hat is lost or stolen, you can get 50% off the same hat, with shipping not included. The guarantee covers workmanship issues, not normal wear, accidental damage or improper care.

    Care depends on material. For felt and wool hats: brush regularly to remove dust, store in a cool dry place away from direct heat, allow to air dry if wet (never use high heat). For straw hats: Keep moisture-free and store correctly to prevent harm. For leather hats: wipe clean with a damp cloth, condition periodically to prevent cracking. All hats should be stored on a hat rack or in a hat box to maintain shape.

    Yes. Conner Hats makes reducing single use plastic a primary goal, using hats made from recycled plastic bottles and biodegradable string instead of plastic connectors for hang tags. Our cowboy hats are made from Australian wool, organic raffia, straw and genuine leather; organic cotton, hemp and recycled materials are used in other styles across our range. Our original St. Augustine warehouse runs on 100% solar power (orders now ship from American Fork, Utah), and we use packaging free of single-use plastics, made from biodegradable and recyclable materials. We still maintain our company food forest at the site and have created a hub there for other small businesses to use the location.

    Pricing varies by material and style, and the current price is shown on each product page. Every Conner hat is handmade and carries a Limited Lifetime Guarantee against manufacturing defects. If your hat is lost or stolen, the guarantee includes a 50% off code toward the same hat. U.S. orders over $79 ship free.

    Yes, depending on material. Felt cowboy hats are generally much easier to shape and reshape—all it takes is a little bit of steam and time. Hat brims can be shaped by steaming and molding. Use a steamer or kettle to apply heat and soften the material, then gently bend the brim into the desired shape and hold it in place until it cools. Straw hats can be reshaped but are more prone to damage.
