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

    Great cowboy hat

    The quality is exceptional and the fit is great. It came with multiple sweat bands which was great. The wait time and shipping was also very reasonable..

    My first Cyclone Hat

    I had found American Hat Makers from an internet search based on American Manufactured Hats.

    I spent a couple months reading about them, reading your company profile and ensuring it was near totally American made. I could have chosen sooner if there were more images of the Cyclone in Asphalt Gray to view.

    The fact that you assured correct fit and offered returns for satisfaction tipped the balance. The actual order was placed during your Forth of July sale. I am enjoying my hat and needed it for the wide brims for sun blockage.

    Love my brown Cyclone so much I had to get one in black, as well. Same incredible quality as my first. Can't express enough how much I love these Cyclones and seriously recommend. Have to say I was a bit trepidatious about getting it in black because you never can tell in photos, but folks, this hat does not look or feel cheap in any way. It is solid, and the black is so well done. Well worth it. Absolutely impressed.

    Thanks so much for sharing this!

    We love hearing that the Cyclone made such a strong impression that you came back for a second one—that’s honestly the best kind of feedback.

    Also really glad the black version exceeded expectations. We appreciate the recommendation and the continued support—enjoy both Cyclones!

    Spring Cyclone Inbound!

    Holy shizzz if this isn't my favorite yet from American Hat Makers! With the sun now out, this beauty arrived just in time, flawlessly delivered, fits like a glove, with every detail and stitch perfect! This is my first ever leather western style hat and it is honestly more comfortable to wear than I ever imagined--soft, yet durable, and just the right weight. First day with it in the sun and it is surprisingly not hot to wear. Please don't mind the glare of my pale skin but its been a long, sunless winter and my first opportunity to catch some rays and celebrate the maiden voyage of this phenomenal headpiece. Pairs extremely well with a tall Dr Pepper and Bourbon on ice, by the way ;) Cheers, AHM! Now I need another Cyclone in black!

    Cheers! We’re thrilled you’re loving the Cyclone, sounds like the perfect first outing in the sun. Enjoy those rays, and we’ll be here when you’re ready for that black Cyclone too!
