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

    Dover

    Cool hat. A little stiffer than expected.

    We're glad to hear you think the Dover is a cool hat.

    We understand that the feel and stiffness of a new hat can sometimes be different than expected. Many hats will soften and become more comfortable with regular wear, and the materials can also relax and mold more to your preferred fit and style over time.

    We appreciate you giving the Dover a try and thank you for your support!

    Beautiful, Very Wearable Hat

    Gorgeous hat that I can easily wear in AND outside of Colorado and Wyoming. I love it I love the eagle pattern in the straw, which honors our country and I think it will be a big hit when I go to Albania too, where they love Americans and have a two headed eagle on their flag.

    Fairly Nice Hat

    The Dover Bangora straw hat is similar to a Stetson outfitters hat I had. Overall construction seems to be pretty good and it's a nice looking hat. In my opinion, there are two factors that could be better. The inside top of the crown has a bunch of loose straw segments that look unfinished. So far, I'm not noticing them poking the top of my head when wearing the hat, but it would be nice for the inside of the hat to be finished better. The other area I'll be watching closely is the soft, elastic band on the inside, which is apparently supposed to help with the fit on your head. The Stetson I had also included this type of elastic band. It was something that only lasted a few years before forming big creases and becoming uncomfortable and that was with a minimal amount of use. I think I would prefer a basic, solid inside sweat band instead of this elastic. That still allows for spacers to be placed under the band if the fit of the hat is too loose. But still, it is a nice looking hat, so we'll see how it holds up.

    American Hat Makers stand by their products

    I recently order the Dover Straw hat from AHM. Unfortunately, the hat was damaged during delivery. AHM sent me a replacement immediately!

    The second hat arrived within 2 days and in great shape. Thank you for excellent customer service AHM!

    Great Hat!

    This straw hat has a distinctive style and color that gets compliments everywhere. I normally wear a 7 3/8, and the XL fit me great. It's lightweight and comfortable to boot.

    Great Hat

    The hat I purchased is very light weight and is of impeccable quality. I enjoy wearing it and have gotten a number of compliments on it. I would not hesitate to recommend it be purchased by others.
