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.

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

    Best gift yet

    This hat is cute and my significant other loves it. He is always so hard to shop for and he is always looking for a better way to upgrade his wardrobe.

    And plus it was delivered within no time.

    Panama hat

    It's a nice hat. But I don't like the feel to my skin (I don't have a full head of hair anymore). It feels stiff and uncomfortable as a result. Therefore, I haven't been wearing it. This time of year in Pennsylvania isn't the time for that hat anyway. I'll see what it's like next summer.

    This company is a class act

    This was my first of three purchases. Not familiar with buying a hat on line without the benefit of trying it on before buying, I was wondering if I did it correctly. I didn’t, but the company walked me thru the process and everything was perfect .

    The quality and craftsmanship are absolutely perfect. The fit is perfect. I have a very difficult time finding the right size because a lot of companies think a one-size-fits-most is a good model. Thanks for allowing me to enjoy a quality, properly fitted hat...again.

    Highly Overpriced

    Decent tourist hat, but most serious hat wearers ( daily and have had numerous hats) have found that the quality is more in line with $70-$80 hats from competition m. Also Seagrass hat should sell for no more than $40. Still good for 2 week vacation. Never Worn Again!!!

    To man wanting a lining----Remember this is a $80 hat not a $300 -$400 one

    Fantastic hat, even better service

    I bought a Panama hat from these folks in the run up to a vacation in west Texan (Big Bend National Park, El Paso and more). I wanted something comfortable that breathed and shaded my face.

    It was shipped via UPS, who messed things up, tracking the creation of the shipping label, but no other activity.

    A couple of days before my departure, I called and said "can you put a hold on that shipment, I don't want it sitting on my doorstep for 2 weeks?" The service guy said "hey, the hat's gone, but how about I express you another hat today so you have something for the trip?"

    Both hats arrived the same day, right before my trip (I've sent the second hat back).

    The hat is comfortable, cool (temperatures reached 106 degF) and fits like a charm.

    They've made a customer for life (not that I buy hats very often). I'm telling all my friends (well anyone I suspect is hat-seeking) about American Hat Makers
