Uh, no. Sort of too hippie for me.

I wore a black leather cap back in the 70's as a biker hat, but everyone said I looked like a Greek fisherman. I still cringe when I see the photo.....

I am not attracted to leather hats, though I sure see a lot of them on ebay among the Australian and cowboy hats.
Having only tried them on for brief moments just to see how they looked, I have to ask: wouldn't they be awfully hot? I would be afraid of sweating half to death in one. They just strike me as being uncomfortable to wear, but maybe I am wrong.

A felt hat can be quite hot sometimes as well. I don't think that a leather hat would be hotter than a leather jacket. I would just wear what is suitable for the weather. I don't own a leather hat but don't see any oint in snobbishness toward them. They are generally pretty fixed in shape so you don't get t enjoy the artistry of reshaping them like you do with felt but otherwise other than being a bit heavy I see no reason to turn ones nose up at them.

I was investigating leather fedoras for rainy season out here in L.A., but the last time I tried one on my wife said, "No; not even!" So that was that.

beat up leather
i was just think a beat up leather jacket could look good, so maybe a hat might look good. i am turning into a major hippie. i've gone barefoot the majority of the time. google the society for barefoot living and you'll see this barefoot thing is spreading. leather hats might go well with it...

The only leather hat that I would even consider wearing would be a WWII bombers type cap. You know, the ones with the longish bill and the sheep skin ear flaps, or with out.
The others with a brim are way too John Denverish for me. Shades of Rocky Mountain High, if you know what I mean.
