Handmade leather cowboy hat holders for cars & trucks

Keep your cowboy hat off the seat while traveling.

A cowboy hat with a wide brim can take up valuable space in a car or truck. If you are looking for a practical hat holder for your car, LeatherByPeter makes handmade leather hangers that attach to a suitable vehicle headrest, giving your cowboy hat a dedicated place behind the seat.

How does a car headrest hat hanger work?

The holder has an adjustable leather strap with a buckle that wraps around the headrest and a larger leather loop that supports the cowboy hat. The hat sits behind the seat instead of on the seat cushion, dashboard or floor.

Available designs feature different leather colors, buckles and Western-style fittings. Check the chosen Etsy listing for the details of that particular holder.

Why use a leather cowboy hat holder in your vehicle?

Free up seat space

Your hat has its own place instead of occupying a passenger seat.

Keep it organized

A dedicated loop helps avoid leaving a hat loose on the floor or dashboard.

Handmade Western detail

Leather colors and decorative metalwork add a traditional touch to your vehicle interior.

How to install a leather car headrest hat holder

  1. Place the adjustable strap around a suitable headrest.
  2. Fasten the buckle and adjust the strap to keep the hanger in position.
  3. Let the larger leather loop hang behind the seat.
  4. Insert the cowboy hat into the loop and check that it is supported without being forced.
  5. Before driving, check that the hat and holder do not interfere with visibility, occupants, seat adjustments or safety equipment.

No tools are normally needed. Only use the holder where your vehicle's headrest and available space make installation appropriate. Do not obstruct airbags or other safety features.

Choosing a leather hat hanger for your car or truck

Leather colors and details

Brown, black and gray leather versions offer different looks. Buckles and decorative metal fittings vary between products, so use the individual photos to choose the style that suits your vehicle.

Vehicle compatibility

Many cars, pickup trucks and SUVs have suitable headrests, but seat designs differ. Integrated or unusually shaped headrests may not provide an appropriate attachment point. Also check that there is enough clearance behind the seat for the cowboy hat.

Personalization

Some LeatherByPeter car hat hangers can be personalized. Check each Etsy product for currently offered options, or contact us to discuss a request.
