Been Here Since 1972

We work hard every day to continue to be the best hat makers in America. Though we are steeped in tradition, we embrace modern practices to deliver hats of the highest quality.

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. To overcome this obstacle we’ve designed several fit adjustment systems, all of which remain hidden behind the sweatband to keep your hat looking sharp from all angles. Check out more here.

Every one of our hats come with a 50 year guarantee. That means that if your hat fails in any way to meet your standards due to our craftsmanship then we’ll repair or replace your hat free of charge. So if your hat starts unraveling in 50 years, we’ll take it back and make it right.

Call us anytime! We don’t want to hide behind our website. We’re real people with a deep love and understanding for all of our hats; so any questions you have we’ll be ready to answer them. Need help picking out a hat? We can do that too! Not only can we help you with any questions or concerns you’re having, we can also help you find the perfect hat for your face shape and lifestyle.

We’re available 9am-5pm PST - give us a call at 831-722-3324.

We dislike returns just as much as the next person, so we’ve vowed to ALWAYS make returns and exchanges painless. If you don’t like your hat, if it doesn’t fit, or you want a different one - we’ll help you. Read our full return and exchange policy here.

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

    Suprise 😮

    I certainly was surprised with this hat. It looks good on the website but in person this hat smokes. It is substantial with great leather that’s soft , smooth, and thick. It fits perfectly on my big head (XL). I wear it backwards like a beret ‘cause I like the feel of it that way. It might be my new fave. I have a few hats from AHM so it’s hard to pick a fave. But this and my Panama hats are neck ‘n’ neck.

    Kudos to AHM for another outstanding product !

    Excellent Quality!

    So I’ve recently ventured into wearing hats and this was my first ever purchase for a quality made hat. It is made of leather so the fit is snug for my head but I’m sure it will give a little once I wear it more.

    It’s summer right now so I have worn it too much yet, but come fall I will be so ready! I can’t wait!!

    The quality is perfect and very stylish! Well worth it in my opinion. Can’t wait to purchase more soon!

    My husband loves it!

    We've been looking for a flat cap for my husband for several months. I ordered a fedora for myself and was so pleased with the quality and customer service. Ordered the flat cap soon after and quality and experience were just as wonderful. Shipping is fast! Got both hats in 2 days. Highly recommend this company.
