Extended Observations
A deep, matte black felt hat with a roll-up brim and western belt buckle detail that photographs beautifully and punches well above its price point — this one is genuinely fun to wear.
Let's be honest: the black cowboy hat moment is not going anywhere. From festival grounds to downtown sidewalks to actual ranches, a well-shaped felt brim in true black reads as effortlessly cool across a lot of different contexts. The CXQRR Western Felt Roll-Up Brim Cowboy Hat lands in that sweet spot where the price is low enough to feel like a win and the look is polished enough that you won't feel like you grabbed it from a costume bin.
The color is a proper, deep black — not the slightly-faded-before-you-even-wear-it charcoal that cheaper felt hats sometimes deliver. Under natural light it holds that richness, and in photos it reads sharp and defined. The roll-up brim is the detail that makes this hat versatile: keep it flat for a more traditional western silhouette, or curl it up on one or both sides for something with a little more attitude. The western belt buckle trim at the base of the crown is a small but satisfying touch — it gives the hat a finished, intentional quality without veering into costume territory.
Fit-wise, the structured crown sits well on a range of head shapes, and the sizing options (this particular review covers the 7–7¼ range) are generous enough to accommodate real heads, not just model heads. I wore it for several hours on a warm afternoon and found it comfortable — the felt has enough give that it doesn't feel like it's clamping down, but enough structure that it stays put when a breeze comes through. For anyone with deeper skin tones, the contrast of this true black against warm complexions is genuinely striking and photographs beautifully.
The buckle belt detail comes in a few variations — longhorn, vintage, and western styles — which is a nice touch if you want to match a specific aesthetic. The price difference between variants is minimal (we're talking a dollar or two), so it's worth picking the one that actually speaks to you rather than defaulting to whatever ships fastest.
A couple of minor caveats: the felt is not going to hold up to serious rain, so this is more of a style hat than a working ranch hat. And while the sizing is reasonably accurate, the fit can run slightly snug right out of the box — give it a wear or two and it softens up nicely. Neither of these is a dealbreaker at this price. For under twenty dollars, this hat delivers a look that feels intentional, wears comfortably, and photographs like a dream.
Our Verdict
A deep, matte black felt hat with a roll-up brim and western belt buckle detail that photographs beautifully and punches well above its price point — this one is genuinely fun to wear.

13 reviewsMy spouse absolutely adores this hat. It has a fantastic appearance when he wears it.
The design has a nice athletic vibe. After wearing it a few times and adjusting the band, I ended up giving it away since it was oversized for my head without added volume. Despite the fit issue, I'm...
The sizing is ideal and it delivers exactly what I was looking for.
Purchased this for my son's costume party. It had an excellent fit, felt durable, and offered solid value at the price point.
Adorable and very comfortable to wear.
