How to Measure Your Head

  1. Grab a soft measuring tape or a piece of string (like twine or a shoelace) and a ruler or measuring tool
  2. Wrap a soft tape or string around your head to measure about 1/4 to 1/2 inch above your ear and about 3/4 to an 1" inch above your brow line (see image)
    • Mark the tape or your string, where it intersects, with your finger.
  3. Record your measurement in inches or centimeters (centimeters is often more accurate)
    • If you're using a string, run it along side the ruler as many times as necessary to get a complete measurement
  4. MEASURE AGAIN!
    • Always measure more than once until you get the same number twice
  5. Find your size in the chart for the perfect fit

    First time buyer! But not the last time!

    When looking for a top hat I came across the American hat makers website. Especially drawn by the American made product I took a leap of faith and bought the Pale rider. Quick shipping and fantastic packaging were impressive before I even saw the hat. I most say they did not disappoint and the hat is fantastic. A little adjustment withe the included sizing pads and I found a perfect fit. I already have my eyes on a second to add to my wardrobe. Thank you American Hat Makers! *** bless America!

    Too Much Awesomeness!!!

    Straight out of the box, this hat shows it's top quality in craftsmanship. Choosing the Unbanded allows me to make this hat my very own. I have a small business that has a unique image and this hat makes it possible to bring that image into reality. Over time this hat will accumulate "things" with special significance to be worn on it. Thank you American Hat Makers for making my image come to life.

    Absolutely amazing!

    This hat was exactly what I wanted! I added my own homemade hatbands to it for a personal flair and I get SO MANY COMPLIMENTS on it all the time! As always, AHM's craftsmanship is second to none, the leather is gorgeous, and the fit is phenomenal with those sizers and sweatbands! Another perfect score for AHM!

    Great hat!!

    I just recently was turned on to the movie, Pale Rider, and being a hat guy, I wanted a hat just like the one Clint Eastwood wears in the movie. This one is perfect!! I did have to flatten the brim a little by using some heavy books, but when I did that, it was perfect!!!

    My Favorite Hat!!

    Having a large head and LOTS of hair makes finding a hat big enough to stay on my head nearly impossible, until I found AHM! Now I can have any style hat I'm looking for and THIS is my favorite! I'm a musician and wear this hat everywhere. Very well made, looks great with any hat band or bandana I put on it, can dress it up or down. My head & hair measure almost 25" and a 2xl fits perfectly.

    LOVE IT!!

    Favorite hat, so far.

    Fits perfect with the appropriate inner sizing bands. It's also not too uncomfortable to wear on 100° Texas days. I have yet to wear it standing outside in the heat, but I expect it's still not as much a head oven as my 20X black Resistol. Oh, and the young ladies seem to dig it, and that, alone, makes it worth wearing. I am dang pleased with this lid, and this AMERICAN company.

    Pale Rider Rocks!!!

    I have been trying to find a quality Pale Rider style hat for several years now. I saw this and I admit I was skeptical about the quality especially for the price. Once it arrived all doubts were gone and this hat appears to be extremely well made and just looks amazing.
