Our Hats Have Been Seen On

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

    This is THE Hat

    After trying other hats with not satisfaction (didn’t fit, wasn’t as advertised, etc.), I decided to try the Bison. Having experienced Bison leather before (boots), I knew it would be softer than most. And is it ever soft. Fortunately, soft also means it fits my head perfectly. I have one of those “non-typical” shaped heads, but this hat fits, as Goldilocks would say, just right. I’m tickled that I gave AHM another try. Online ordering for clothing is pretty much hit or miss, boy did AHM hit this one. Because of this hat, I’m going to order another (& perhaps another after that). And I will certainly recommend AHM to those looking for the hat that fits them best. If I could only have one hat, this would be it. Thanks, AHM, for such a fine product.

    So Nice and Supple

    I thought this hat would be a bit more stiff that it is with being made of bison leather. But it's so soft and supple. I allow everyone to touch it and they're surprised, too.

    Extremely Comfortable and ****

    I thought this was a stiff hat and at first I was disappointed. After wearing it I fell in love. It is so comfortable! It looks great too. It's a very **** hat. I wear it all the time now because it's so incredibly comfortable. Even when it's windy the hat flops around but doesn't budge at all. This is a truly exceptional hat.

    Softest hat ever.

    This hat is by far the softest hat I own. I always go outside and go on walks, so this will suit me nicely on my outdoor adventures around town. I did have to stretch it out a little bit even with the size reducers. It still was a little snug. I stretched it out over my knee, pulled it a couple times And it seemed to work with the second largest hat size reducer in it. It feels like I’m not even wearing a hat. One of my family members is pre-cancerous above the ears so I’m gonna do what he’s doing and wear a hat with a brim, rather than putting sunscreen on every half an hour , thank you so much American Hatmakers!! I’m wearing this hat till the day I die, or the hat dies. You will not be disappointed in buying this hat!

    Jaw dropping

    I’ve purchased the Hollywood, Cyclone, Marlow, 4 Crushers, Scirocco, one I don’t know the name of and finally the Bisson men’s packable. I have loved every hat. I own just over 400 hats. Own from all the major companies. Since I’ve discovered American Hat Makers they are now my everyday wear. The Bisson is now my absolute favorite. Thanks to a true company keeping up with times and American made.

    A lifetime customer now.

    Soft and supple

    I bought this as a female. It definitely looks more cowboy with the sides coming to more of an upward angle. It is beautifully well made, soft, and fits perfectly. This will be something I treasure lifelong, as it was made to last. I'm planning on wearing it in the colder months here in AZ. Highly recommend this one, for females too. I am excited that it's packable and can be taken on all kinds of adventures! Thanks for another beautifully made hat AHM.
