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

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

    My Hat

    Bought my first hat more that 25 years ago. My go to hat has been on many adventures. I have a total of 4 Of your hats. My original is pretty floppy at this stage. Still my favorite. People do not recognize me without it. Would like any ideas how to bring it back to life

    Thanks for a great product. American Made

    Thank you so much for sharing this—it’s amazing to hear your original hat has been with you for over 25 years and through so many adventures.

    For your floppy hat, a good way to bring it back to life is a light steam and reshaping by hand, then letting it dry on a form or rounded surface to help it hold its shape again. You can also gently brush and clean it first to freshen it up.

    We really appreciate your support and love that you’re still wearing your original favorite after all these years.

    Cabana

    A friend of mine has had the cabana hat for years. When swimming, he dips it in the water rings it out and puts it on his head and it’s held in shape. This encourage me to buy one of my own. The girl did not come with a hat in the picture.🤣
