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.

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

    Another in the collection

    After being so impressed with my first American Hat Makers hat, I knew I wanted to add another to the collection. This Cattleman in Chocolate Brown did not disappoint.

    The felt quality is excellent right out of the box and holds its shape well, while still allowing enough flexibility to customize it to your own style. I’ve spent time shaping the brim and crown to fit the look I was after, and the hat responded perfectly.

    I’ve worn it while working, around town, and outdoors, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite hats. The craftsmanship, comfort, and durability are exactly what I was hoping for. It has the look of a classic western hat but is comfortable enough to wear all day.

    If you’re looking for a quality felt cowboy hat that you can truly make your own, I highly recommend this one. It definitely won’t be my last American Hat Makers purchase.

    Chocolate size medium for me. The hat crown was too round for my head but was easy to fix and fit perfectly after stretching fo get the perfect oval shape.

    The hat had a dark stain on the crown that I didn’t notice until after I altered the fit so I can’t exchange it.

    I attached a picture and the stain is right in front of the hatband buckle. Overall I really like the hat.
