Stylish Leather Hats Collection

High-quality leather hats with proper maintenance can last several years or even decades. Conner Hats are warranted to the original owner against manufacturing defects under our limited lifetime guarantee. Lifespan depends on wear frequency, storage conditions, and maintenance. Hats worn daily in harsh weather may show wear within 1-2 years, while occasionally-worn hats stored properly can last 20+ years.

Condition your leather hat every three to six months, depending on how often you wear it and the environmental conditions it faces. Clean with a soft brush to remove dust, spot-clean stains with mild soap formulated for leather, and apply leather conditioner to prevent cracking. Store the hat in a cool, dry place or with a hat protector to protect from damage. Avoid extreme heat, direct sunlight, and prolonged moisture exposure.

Many styles feature oily waterproof leather (like the BC Hats Bac Pac Traveller) that repels light rain. However, environmental factors such as rain, snow, and extreme heat or cold can damage leather hats. For heavy rain, we recommend our [oilskin and waxed cotton collection](https://connerhats.com/collections/oilskin-waxed-cotton-hats). If your leather hat gets wet, let it air dry at room temperature—never use direct heat.

Oily leather hats have a classic, slightly glossy finish that's naturally water-resistant and develops a rich patina over time. They're more durable for outdoor wear. Suede leather hats have a soft, matte texture that's more delicate and should be kept out of rain. Suede is a delicate material and getting it wet will cause it to shrink and could damage the fabric. Choose oily leather for outdoor activities; choose suede for style-focused wear in dry conditions.

Yes. Conner's leather hats feature shapeable brims—Bill Conner was the first in Australia to make a leather hat with a shapeable brim in 1969. To reshape, apply gentle steam (from a kettle or steam iron), then manually reshape with your fingers. For significant reshaping or restoration, contact us at 833-727-1410 for guidance.

Most styles are available in Small, Medium, Large, and X-Large. Select styles (like the Bac Pac Traveller and Maverick) also offer XX-Large.

Yes. Conner Hats is a family-owned business committed to sustainable materials and ethical production. Will Conner made the conscious choice to use suppliers who were paying fair wages and participated in ethical treatment of their employees and to use materials that were sustainably sourced. Our original St. Augustine warehouse runs on 100% solar power, and we use biodegradable materials instead of single-use plastics in packaging. We still maintain our company food forest at the site and have created a hub there for other small businesses to use the location.
