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
  5. Find your size in the chart for the perfect fit

    The one and Only top hat

    I originally purchased this from their Amazon store. I absolutely love this top hat. I have had a couple of other ones, but this is my far the best it’s in a league of its own. It’s staff the fit is actually right on my head is a 22 inch and I ordered a medium and it fit perfect. The price is more than fair. The shipping is fast and I expect this hat will last a very long time it definitely stylish. I get asked about it all the time. I’m glad I finally got one.

    Puttin' On The Ritz with a short top hat

    I first saw your hats in Georgetown, DC at Georgetown Tobacco, one of your dealers. I had to have a plain leather top hat so I found you website, followed directions for sizing and ordered a size medium. I wear the hat everyday as long as is not too hot in San Diego . It is a case of west meets east and I'm proud to be a fan!

    Thank you for sharing your story!

    Very cool that you first spotted our hats in Georgetown and tracked down the perfect leather top hat. We’re thrilled to hear the medium fit just right and that it’s become part of your everyday look. Love the “west meets east” vibe — and we’re proud to have you as a fan!

    If you ever need anything else for your collection, we’re here for you.

    Great hat!

    I purchased this hat for my wife's company themed Christmas party at the World Equestrian Center. It was the hit of the party and I received many complements.

    Thier workmanship is impeccable and it fit my head perfectly. I will be returning to American Hat Makers when I need to replace some of my older hats.

    I highly recommend them for your new hat.
