    Shop men's hats by style

    Finding your size

    Measure around your head just above the ears and check the hat size finder. If you fall between sizes, choose the next size up — the two included size inserts take up the difference.

    Men's Hats, Handmade Since 1969

    Conner Hats has been making hats by hand since 1969. The craft started in St. Augustine, Florida, where our headquarters still sits today, and it carries design inspiration from Byron Bay, Australia. Every men's hat in this collection is handmade and backed by a lifetime guarantee against manufacturing defects.

    Shop by the way you actually wear a hat: men's cowboy hats for western shapes, outback hats for weather and wide brims, leather hats for rugged everyday use, summer hats for men in straw and raffia, UPF sun protection hats for long days outside, waterproof hats for rain and spray, and caps and newsboys for a lower-profile look.

    How to Choose a Men's Hat

    Start with the brim. A wider brim shades more of your face, ears and neck. The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends a brim of at least three inches around the circumference for meaningful sun coverage (Skin Cancer Foundation). Narrower brims, like a fedora or newsboy, trade some coverage for a dressier line.

    Then the material. Straw, raffia and toyo breathe in heat. Wool felt holds its shape and sheds light rain. Leather and oilskin take the most abuse. Cotton and canvas pack flat for travel.

    Then the rating, if sun is the point. Many of our hats are rated UPF 50+, which blocks 98 percent of UV rays. The rating is listed on each product page, so buy on the number rather than on colour or weave.

    Then the fit. Measure just above your eyebrows and ears. If you fall between sizes, size up and use the two free size inserts that ship with every hat.

    Men's Hats: Frequently Asked Questions

    It depends on what you need from it. Western and outback shapes are our biggest men's categories, with 104 men's styles across the range. Cowboy and western crowns suit anyone who wants a classic shape; outback hats give you a wider, weather-ready brim; fedoras and newsboy caps keep a lower profile for town wear.

    Many of our men's hats are rated UPF 50+, which blocks 98 percent of UV rays. The rating is printed on each product page, and the UPF sun protection collection gathers the rated styles in one place. Pair the rating with a wide brim for the best coverage of your face, ears and neck.

    Yes. Conner has been making hats by hand since 1969, and every hat is handmade in small batches. Our headquarters is at 4925 Crescent Technical Ct, St Augustine, FL 32086, and orders ship from our warehouse in American Fork, Utah.

    Measure your head circumference with a flexible tape, just above your eyebrows and ears, then match it to the chart on our hat size finder. Every hat ships with two free size inserts so you can fine-tune the fit, and exchanges are free for 30 days if the size is wrong.

    Look at waterproof hats and our oilskin and waxed cotton styles first, then wool felt, which naturally sheds light rain and dries back into shape. Leather handles weather well and only looks better for it. Straw and raffia are built for heat, not for downpours.

    Care depends on the material: brush wool, spot-clean straw with a barely damp cloth, and let any hat air-dry away from direct heat so the crown keeps its shape. Our hat care guide covers each material in detail.

    Conner hats carry a lifetime guarantee to the original owner against defects in materials and workmanship. Shipping within the US is free on orders over $79, and exchanges are free for 30 days if you need a different size or style.
