- Record your measurement in inches or centimeters (centimeters is often more accurate)

- BWBraxton W.ReviewingBison | Mens Black Bison Leather Packable Outback HatI recommend this productSize Purchased: LGFit: PerfectFace Type: SquareHead Shape: Long OvalHow many AHM hats do you own? I have 5-10Rated 5 out of 5 stars4 weeks agoOne of my favorites, great daily wear kind of hat.
I recently got into wide brim hats coming from "ball caps," and I went a little overboard and now have like nine hats!
This one in particular, is arguably the most comfortable out of the ones I have. Its light, it squashes and pops right back, has an awesome leather smell and seems to soften up the more you wear it.
It is a little thinner leather than I expected, so in rain it will droop pretty decent and sometimes when its 90+ degrees.
I treated mine with obenaufs heavy duty lp to protect it and give it the best water repellency. It goes good with a lot of styles of dress while not looking "out there."
I also sport the el dorado sr2 and pathfinder wool hat, which I will review as well.
Great comfy durable hat, only wish the price point was a little lower. It did run a hair tighter than my other hats, but easily molded after several wears to my head shape and now its basically perfect.
AHAmerican Hat Makers4 weeks agoThank you for such a detailed review! We're glad to hear this hat has become one of your favorites and that it offers the comfort, versatility, and fit you were looking for. We appreciate your honest feedback regarding the leather thickness, fit, and price, and we're happy to have you as part of the American Hat Makers family!

Good looking hat. My only complaint was how thin the leather is. Makes it hard to hold its shape. But it looks good and is so light you can hardly tell your wearing one!
AHAmerican Hat Makers1 month agoThank you for the feedback! We’re glad you like the look and lightweight feel of the hat. We also appreciate your note about the leather thickness and how it affects the hat’s ability to hold its shape. We’ll be sure to pass your feedback along to our team.

One of the most comfortable hats I have ever had! Fits perfectly and feels great
- FAFrederick A.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars10 months agoExcellent look and feel
This hat is made of a soft leather that is very comfortable to wear, yet keeps its shape. I typically wear a 7 5/8 to 7 3/4 hat, and the LG fits perfectly. Very satisfied with purchase.

- KMKen M.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars11 months agoOne of my 2 favorite hats ... a black one and a brown one.
One of my 2 favorite hats the other is the same one in brown. I love the versatility and comfort. Unlike my stiff brimmed hats I can wear it in the car without having the head rest interfere. It is comfortable in a wide range of temperatures. I wear it for birding and to church. I have worn it in the wind and the rain.
