Product Reviews
- JHJohn H.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 weeks agoDRIFTER CRITIQUE
I recently bought a honey color Drifter Hat made by The American Hat Company.
It's a felt Hat and has an extremely aggressive stiffness when you first put it on your head. This, as I have researched, is normal for a quality product. Like any good Hat made this way , it is very stiff. Even to the point of being slightly uncomfortable. This is normal and to be expected. The key, as I've discovered, is to wear the hat in intervals . 30 minutes at a time is a descent beginning. Seriously guys, just keep working with the Hat. Let your head take a little abuse, and I promise it will work. The key is that when you let it break in gradually, you "WILL" get the perfect fit for your head. Get it?
Good luck.

- NMNoah M.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5 months agoGood Quality Hat!
This is my first western hat, and I was drawn to it's character, charm & the fact it doesn't look like all the other brand new hats off the shelf. Of course everyone likes their hats a certain way, but the "Stock" shape the hat came with is a great starting point or if you prefer you can also make it custom to your liking (I bent both the top & bottom parts of the brim ever so slightly down to aid in water displacement & run off).
AHAmerican Hat Makers5 months agoThank you for your feedback, Noah. Good to know that you are happy with your hat.
- BRBlake R.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars8 months agoBeautiful hat.
Hat fits great. Felt is great quality and will last a long time. Definitely recommend this hat if you don’t want one that feels too crisp and uncomfortable like it’s brand new.
AHAmerican Hat Makers8 months agoThank you so much, Blake! We’re glad that you love our hats as much as we do. They will surely last for a long time. :)

The felt is harder than I expected but still love the hat. Please think about marking some soft felt distressed hats.

- GHGiselle H.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 months agoMy best hat
I’m a woman who loves to wear hats, but rarely have occasion to do so. I first saw the Drifter in the amber color on a good (male) friend of mine, and was instantly taken with it. Luckily, he forgot and left it at my house for a few weeks, during which time I wore it around the house and fantasized about having one.
You can guess how this ends. I bought one just like it. The burnishing and the detail on this hat are out of this world. The hat is very comfortable and flattering. The only accessory I wish AH would offer is a stampede strap. When I’m outdoors, I’m usually in the country in very windy conditions, and hate to see this wonderful hat go flying. I got a chin/stampede strap from Etsy and put it on, but the quality and installation would have been much better if it had come from AH.
- ACAlex C.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars4 months agoGreat hat
Looks good color perfect, not like anything else
- TITony I.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars4 months agoLove it!
It is really a great looking hat. The quick response to my question about forming the hat was appreciated. I had to do an exchange since the hat was damaged in shipping. That process went very smooth. I can see me wearing this hat for many years to come.😎
