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.

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

    Comfiest hat you will ever put on your noggin !

    My brother-in-law purchased this hat style a few weeks ago. I liked the looks of it. I took a picture of it and sought out American hat makers. After finding the American hat makers online, I made the purchase and it arrived a few days later. BUT...I ordered the wrong size. I was helped quickly and very efficently and a few days later I received my hat. I am so happy with the way it is made and fits. It lets in enough air to keep your head ventilated while also protecting you from the sun. This hat is a head turner for sure..very stylish. But it is also "old hat comfortable."

Thank you for your patience during the sizing exchange - your satisfaction is our top priority.

    Great hat, fast replacement as

    Great hat, fast replacement as the first was too small even though we followed the sizing instructions, the extra sizing/sweat bands help make it a perfect fit when the hat may be a little too large. Makes it the best fitted hat I ever had!! Something is wrong with the hat stand though. Two exact pieces do not fit or interlock to make a stand. Must be some mistake.

    Love it Breeze

    I suggest strongly to measure your head like they say BUT GET the next biggest size . They have sweat bands and sizers to make a 1/4 to one size bigger with the washable sweat bands . I had to return mine for that reason .

    We're glad you're loving your Breeze hat.

    We also appreciate your helpful advice for other customers. Measuring your head is definitely the best place to start, and our complimentary sizing inserts and washable sweatband liners can help fine-tune the fit.

    We hope you enjoy your hat for many adventures to come!

    Great Hat for Golfing

    This hat looks great, fits great and helps keep the sun off of you. I already bought another hat from this company.
