How to Measure Your Head
- Grab a soft measuring tape or a piece of string (like twine or a shoelace) and a ruler or measuring tool
- 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.
- 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
- MEASURE AGAIN!
- Always measure more than once until you get the same number twice
- Find your size in the chart for the perfect fit

My husband said he wanted a crushable leather hat. He doesn’t ever ask for anything so I decided I would surprise him with a hat for Christmas. Only issue I had was getting the correct size. Process of returning and getting replacement was simple. He very pleased with his new hat! Thank you!

It's truly heartwarming to know we were able to help you surprise him with the perfect Christmas gift. We're also glad the sizing exchange process was smooth and easy for you. Enjoy the hat!

I love this hat. I looks exactly as I imagined and I wear it everyday
Was this helpful?AHAmerican Hat Makers4 weeks agoThank you, Cornell, for the exceptional 5-star review! There's something truly special about finding a hat that becomes your everyday companion, and we're thrilled that the Crusher has become exactly that for you. Your appreciation for this classic style truly makes our day, and we're honored that it's become such a natural part of your daily life.
- JSJohn S B.Verified BuyerI recommend this productFace Type? Square, LongHead Shape Long OvalHow many American Hat Maker Hats do you have? This is my 3rdRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoSo good it’s worth buying twice
After accidentally killing my 4 year old Crusher (long story involving sub-freezing temps and kerosene heaters) I immediately reached out to AHM to purchase a new one just like it. I’ve owned lost of hats of all kinds but the Crusher is the best I’ve ever had. I also took the opportunity to order a Mens Western Weathered Outback Hat ((catchy name that). If it’s as nice a product as the Crusher (now THAT’S a name), and I’m confident that it will be, I’m gonna face a constant dilemma on which to wear.
And it was a pleasure buying from this company. The folks at AHM care about the hats they make and the customers who purchase them. The whole team works to provide the best product available at a fair price. AND they shipped my hats the same day I ordered them. Couldn’t ask for more.
Oh, and their hats make you look 27% better, too.
Was this helpful?AHAmerican Hat Makers1 month agoThank you, John, for the exceptional 5-star review! We're truly delighted by your enduring loyalty to the Crusher and the wonderful story you've shared. While we're sorry to hear about the fate of your original hat (those kerosene heaters can be formidable foes!), we're honored that you immediately turned to us for its replacement. Your confidence in expanding your collection with the Western Weathered Outback Hat speaks volumes, and we love your humorous dilemma about choosing between the two! Your observation about the 27% improvement in appearance brings a smile to our faces - though we might argue it's closer to 30%! We're particularly grateful for your kind words about our team's dedication to quality and service, as this perfectly reflects our commitment to both exceptional craftsmanship and customer care. Your appreciation for our same-day shipping and fair pricing truly validates our efforts to provide an outstanding experience from start to finish.

- NBNick B.Verified ReviewerI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agothis hat is too special to wear
Firefighters used to celebrate their company by adorning it on the hats they wore. After supplying a true artisan with a sample of leather hats he refused until he had a specimen worthy of his efforts.
Was this helpful?AHAmerican Hat Makers1 month agoThank you, Nick, for the exceptional 5-star review! Your poetic reflection on the Crusher's significance, drawing parallels to the cherished tradition of firefighter company hats, deeply resonates with our commitment to craftsmanship excellence.

Gotta love the authentic look and quality. Couldn't be happier. Purchased 3 hats from them, which one had a defect, but was prompt on issuing a return. They gave me the opportunity to refund my money or send another hat. I wanted the hat, so it is now on its way to me. Thank you for being such a high quality and respectful company.
