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

    A perfect fit

    Great hat! I am impressed with the quality of construction and comfort of the fit right out of the box. I've been looking for a quality planter's hat for the very hot and humid summer we have down in Houston, and this one fits the bill perfectly! I'm also impressed with the speed of delivery and the attentiveness of the customer service. I had a snafu with auto fill putting the wrong shipping address when checking out, but a quick message to AHM retur ed an extremely fast response and correction, just in time to ship my order within the hour! I'll be a customer again, for sure!

    The hat was a HIT

    I’m a wedding officiant and I had to perform a wedding in Key West. Knowing I could be in the sun for a while, I needed a wider brimmed hat that wasn’t a sombrero. I also needed a hat I could walk around town in. I bought this hat and loved it! Everyone loved it! I would definitely recommend this hat for anyone who needs a wider brimmed hat that can be dressed up or dressed down

    I'll be back for more hats!

    I am a Hawaiian featherwork artist. One type of item I fabricate is the Hawaiian feather hat bands, which were popularized after contact with the west and now often adorn hats on festive occasions. I came to American Hat Company seeking a new hat to use to model my hat bands in product photos. Featherwork being a native craft, I sought a hat of natural materials and color. I chose the men's Cozumel and held my breath, not knowing if it would meet my expectations. I was more than pleasantly surprised at the hat that arrived! The shape was perfect, the brim edges skillfully finished, the weave tight, and it fit (faith in sizing charts restored)! It is an exceedingly photogenic and comfortable straw hat! Last year, I sent a question to customer service about the leather band that comes with the hat, and they answered promptly and cheerfully, and this factored into my decision to make my recent purchase. I am completely happy with every aspect of this hat---material, color, craftsmanship, quality, price, service, shipping and delivery, packaging. The only surprise I experienced with my order was that nothing went awry, at all! ---Sad, but true in the age of online shopping where the customer, product quality, and service fall too often through the cracks. I will be coming first to American Hat Company for my future hat needs. Thank you for a great experience and product!

    Met All of My Expectations

    My husband, a hat connoisseur, was delighted with his surprise gift of the Cozumel. The fit is perfect, it looks sharp on him, and the materials are high-quality and natural. Worth every penny.

    Like carrying a palm tree around everywhere you go.

    If you want a straw hat but don’t want a cowboy or fedora your options are limited. Fortunately this hat is available. Really comfy and well designed and well made. It has a bit of an Amish farmer look to it which I don’t mind. This hat isn’t something you wear to the club. Unless it’s the beach club that is! Seriously I plan to wear this golfing gardening or beaching this year. I already love it.
