We Are American Hat Makers

50 Year Craftsman Guarantee

All our hats come with a lifetime warranty. What this means is that even if you bought a hat 50 years ago and it starts unraveling, we'll fix it or replace it, free of charge.

Family Business

Second generation USA owned and operated. This company started as a family business, and has continued to stay a family business even through today

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

5

    Perfect

    I love American Hat Makers hats, with the American hat makers sizers, I have a small nugget and I can always find the perfect fit sizer that works. Not only do they fit well but they are always very well made unique hats that not a lot of other people have, well worth the money.

    I use mine primarily for when I am kayaking around, which makes the chin string come in handy to keep it on my head instead of in the water on a windy day.

    We're thrilled to hear you've found the perfect fit with our sizing system and that your hat has become such a great companion for your kayaking adventures.

    It's great to know the chin cord has come in handy on windy days, and we truly appreciate your kind words about the quality and unique style of our hats.

    Thank you for your continued support—we hope your hat joins you on many more adventures on the water!

    Literally everything I was looking for

    Needed something for this heat and baseball caps only cover front or back, and straw hats weren't too comfortable and could only wear that to work and not out and about. I really really REALLY love this hat!!! Love the mesh, the wide brim, the string so it doesn't get eaten by an engine or flown off from jet blast, it's awesome really. Can hold its shape when being crushed which is a plus. It's literally a perfect hat!

    Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear the hat checked every box for you. It's great to know the mesh keeps you cool, the wide brim provides the coverage you needed, and the chin strap keeps it secure even in windy conditions. We love hearing that it's become your perfect everyday hat. Thanks for choosing American Hat Makers!

    Great hat, great service!

    You can never be sure about ordering off a Facebook ad but this company was perfect on all counts. I have trouble finding a hat big enough in most stores and was worried about ordering one online. The communication was great with notices about delivery and it arrived when expected. Their size chart was right on and the hat shipped with additional pieces to increase by 1/2 or a full size. It was a little loose fitting when I got it but I swapped in the included 1/2 sizer and now it’s perfect. All that and it’s a well made, great looking hat. I paid for the lifetime refurbishment and expect to enjoy the same level of service if I ever need it.
