MARA Leather Warranty
At Mara Leather, we craft pieces meant to be worn for decades, and we back that promise with a Lifetime Warranty covering flaws in materials and workmanship. If a problem traces back to how your piece was made, we'll fix it by repairing, replacing, or rebuilding it.
What We Cover
- Leather: Genuine leather used in our jackets, vests, gloves, and other leather goods
- Hardware: Zippers, buckles, snaps, rivets, D-rings, and any other metal fittings
- Construction: Broken stitching, separated seams, and faulty linings
This applies to both ready-made and custom pieces, whether shipped within the country or abroad. Items made from canvas, denim, twill, or mesh aren't covered for fabric defects, though their hardware remains protected.
What We Don't Cover
- Natural aging: Fading, creasing, patina, and light surface scuffs that come with regular wear
- Accidents and misuse: Cuts, tears, punctures, burns, heat exposure, impact damage, and pet damage
- Changes made after purchase: Patches, added hardware or decorations, alterations by anyone other than Mara Leather, and dyes or chemical treatments
- Poor care: Machine washing, harsh cleaners, mold or mildew from improper storage, and water damage from soaking
A Note on Patches
After patches (iron-on, sewn, or adhesive) or any other permanent embellishments are added, the piece is no longer eligible for return, exchange, or warranty repair. Taking patches off harms the leather and stitching, so we couldn't accurately judge defects or restore the piece. Please confirm the fit and quality are right for you before customizing.
Protecting Your Coverage
- Use leather-specific cleaners and condition your piece on a regular basis
- Spot clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, then allow it to air dry
- Keep your piece somewhere cool and dry, away from sunlight and heat
- Never machine wash or tumble dry, and avoid bleach and household cleaning products
Making a Claim
- Reach out: Email info@maraleatherstore.com or call 7038705097 with your order number and a short description of the problem.
- Share photos: Include a close-up of the issue, a shot of the whole piece, and any attached tags or labels.
- Await our decision: We typically reply within 1-2 business days with our decision and shipping details.
- Send it in: You pay to ship the item to us, and we pay to ship it back. Please pack it securely and choose a trackable service.
- We take it from there: We'll repair the piece, swap it for the same item, rebuild it to its original specifications, or provide an equal-value alternative if it's been discontinued.
Care Details
Fine leather lasts for years when it's cared for properly. Here's how to keep your Mara piece looking its best.
Please avoid
- Bleach or any harsh chemical cleaners
- Washing, soaking, or tumble drying
- Storing or hanging your piece folded, as creasing can leave permanent marks
- Heat sources (radiators, hairdryers, car dashboards) and prolonged moisture
- Storing in plastic or vinyl bags, which trap humidity and can dry out or damage the leather
- Prolonged direct sunlight, which can fade color and dry the surface
We recommend
- Wiping gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and surface dirt
- Following the Mara Leather care steps included with your purchase
- Storing in a breathable cloth bag (the dust bag provided is ideal)
- Hanging on padded or wooden hangers to preserve shape
- Visiting a professional leather specialist for deep cleaning or conditioning when needed
With a little care, your Mara Leather piece will age beautifully and last for years.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are leather cowboy hats made of?
Most MARA Leather cowboy hats are made from genuine cowhide. Styles include smooth, perforated, distressed and crushable finishes. We also offer denim and rancher hats with braided leather bands, so check each product description for the exact material.
Are leather cowboy hats better than felt or straw?
It depends on how you’ll wear it. Leather is tougher than straw, handles wind and light rain better, and develops a patina with age. Straw is cooler in summer, and felt is lighter and holds a formal crease. Leather suits fall, winter and mild days best.
Are leather cowboy hats hot to wear?
Solid leather is denser and less breathable than straw, so it runs warmer in strong sun. Perforated styles have small ventilation holes across the crown and brim for better airflow. For all-day heat, choose perforated leather or a denim hat.
Can I wear a leather cowboy hat in the rain?
Yes, in light rain. Leather sheds light showers, and our showerproof black hat is built for that. No hat here is fully waterproof, though, so avoid heavy downpours. If it gets wet, let it air dry naturally, away from heat.
What should I do if my hat gets soaked?
Blot off excess water with a clean towel and reshape the crown and brim by hand. Dry it at room temperature, and never use a hairdryer, radiator or car heater, since heat can warp and crack the leather. Once it’s dry, apply a little leather conditioner.
What size leather cowboy hat should I order?
Measure your head just above the eyebrows and compare it with the size chart on the product page. Most styles run from S to 2XL. The hat should sit level above your eyebrows, snug but without pressure points. If you’re unsure, call our team at (703)-870-5097.
Will a leather cowboy hat stretch or loosen over time?
Slightly. Leather softens and molds to your head with wear, so a snug fit at first is normal. If you’re between sizes, choose the smaller one, because a hat that’s too big won’t shrink back.
Can I crush or fold a leather cowboy hat?
Only crushable styles are made for packing. They fold into a bag or suitcase and return to shape when you put them on. Rigid hats can crease permanently, so carry them or pack them on top.
Do any of your hats come with a chin strap?
Yes, several styles, such as the Vintage Distressed Brown hat and the denim hat with a braided leather band, include an adjustable chin strap. A strap helps keep the hat secure in strong wind, on a horse or on a motorcycle.
What is the difference between a cowboy hat and a leather top hat?
A cowboy hat has a pinched crown and a curved brim for a classic Western look. A top hat has a taller, flatter crown. Our leather top hats come with star, stud and buffalo nickel bands and suit biker, steampunk and stage looks.
Are your leather cowboy hats unisex?
Yes. The collection works for men and women, and large-brim, dual-tone and braided styles are popular with both. Women who find a style too large can size down.
How do I clean a leather cowboy hat?
Brush off dust with a soft brush and wipe it with a slightly damp cloth. Never soak it or put it in a washing machine. Skip harsh cleaners and bleach.
How often should I condition my hat?
A few times a year is usually enough. If the hat is exposed to sun, wind or frequent rain, condition it more often. Conditioning keeps the leather flexible and prevents cracking, and our leather conditioner is made for this.
How should I store a leather cowboy hat?
Store it in a cool, dry place, resting on its crown or on a hat stand so the brim keeps its shape. Keep it out of hot cars and direct sunlight. Don’t store it in plastic bags, which trap moisture.
Do you offer free shipping and returns on hats?
Yes, qualifying orders ship free in the USA, with hassle-free returns. Shipping charges are shown at checkout, and tracking details are emailed once your order ships.
Does the MARA Leather warranty cover hats?
Our lifetime warranty covers flaws in materials and workmanship on genuine leather and on hardware such as buckles, snaps and rivets. It does not cover natural aging, accidents, misuse, poor care or alterations made after purchase. For denim hats, fabric defects aren’t covered, but hardware is.
What do leather cowboy hats cost?
Prices run from about $30 to $135. Denim, braided and crushable styles sit at the lower end, while perforated hats with detailed hat bands and the black cyclone style are at the higher end. Many hats are on sale, so check each listing for current pricing.
Do these hats make a good gift?
Yes. The unisex sizing, wide S–2XL range and variety of styles make them easy to give. If you’re unsure of the size, a hat with an adjustable chin strap can be more forgiving, and returns are hassle-free.
