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

    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.

    Quality is very nice… However, it didn’t fit on my husband‘s head like it does on the model. The brim was way smaller in person than it appears on that model. He looked like a pinhead lol. Couldn’t wear it.

    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
