Video Tutorial: How to Shape Your Hat Brim

Tips and Tricks for Shaping Your Hat Brim

We sew a metal band into the brim of our hats to make them completely shapeable! Curl up the edges for a sexy nighttime desperado look, and then flatten them back out during the day to protect from the sun. Whatever you do, have some fun with it! You won’t damage the hat. And if you don’t like the way you shaped your brim, you simply flatten it out and try again.

What Makes American Hat Makers Unique


We proudly hand make our hats and hat bands in Monterey Bay, California using only the finest materials available. We guarantee our hats for a lifetime against defects in materials and workmanship.

We include our sizing system with your order. This allows your hat to be adjusted to three different sizes. Should you need a different size than this allows, we will gladly exchange your hat for a perfect fit. Simply return the hat in the original box with a note as to what you need, and we will send you the appropriate replacement. By the same token, if the color of the hat is not what you expected, we will exchange for another of our standard colors at no extra charge.

Our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee speaks for itself. Should the hat not meet up to any of your expectations, simply return the hat to us for a full refund (less shipping costs)……No questions asked. (Custom and special orders excepted).
