Our Hats Have Been Seen On

  • Top Grade Materials - Manufactured to the highest standard, our materials are put through rigorous testing to ensure their quality and then expertly crafted into one of our timeless designs. Our leather is supple, our felt is durable, and our straw tightly woven. 
  • Hats That Hold Their Shape - All American Hat Makers hats are guaranteed to hold their shape, and will not stretch or shrink with everyday wear. This mens leather cowboy hat can be restored even if it gets warped. Purchasing our lifetime refurbishment at checkout will guarantee that if your hat is accidentally damaged you can send it back to us for a painless and timely repair.
  • They Fit! - Our hats fit! It sounds simple enough but with so many shapes and sizes of heads out there it can be a challenge.

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

    Stylish and Functional for Hiking the Alps!

    I bought this beautiful hat to take on a hiking trip to the Italian Dolomites. I needed a chin strap due to potential high winds, and wanted to look stylish as well. One day it poured rain while hiking, and the hat kept its shape and dried perfectly. I love the fact that the hat came with sizing strips that allowed me to find the perfect fit. I got so many compliments. I took hundreds of pictures, and this hat is in almost all of them! Love!

    Best hat I own, and I have a lot of hats!

    I ordered a small and it was too small. Sent it back with no problem and got the medium that fits perfectly. Stylish and stays on in the wind! I LOVE it.

    It fits me perfectly! I love how I looks on me and like the string for under the chin so the wind doesn’t blow it off. Thanks for making a great hat!

    Awesome hat

    Great fit, brim keeps the sun out perfectly! I wore it to an outdoor bull bucking event . The wind was gusting up to 25 mph, so the chin strap was perfect!

    We’re really glad to hear the fit, brim, and chin strap all held up in those strong winds—sounds like it was put to the test at the bull bucking event. Even better that it performed exactly how you needed it to. We appreciate your support and feedback!

    Great summer look

    I love the hat and think it's a great summer look. In hats, I only buy made in the USA and appreciate American Hat Makers' products. The only drawback for me is the sizing. I typically wear a small and without an exact size available on the hat I ordered, it does fit a bit too tightly. I'm hoping it will continue to conform to my head with multiple uses. A medium with a sizer would still be too big so I'm going to make this one work! It's a really good-looking hat.
