We work hard every day to continue to be the best hat makers in America. Though we are steeped in tradition, we embrace modern practices to deliver hats of the highest quality.

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 hat for the money!

    I'm so pleased with this hat- it fits perfectly and has just the right amount of weight and brim curve for hot sunny days. 100% would recommend. Will be purchasing more hats from this company.

    Falcon -- Mexican Palm Wide Straw Hat

    Received my Mexican Palm Hat via shipping in a timely manner. No mishaps or damage to box or hat. The hat fits perfectly and looks great too. Most importantly, the hat provides a safe shade for my head preventing sun burn or even minimizing the risk of skin cancer.

    All in all... I'm a happy camper.
