We Are American Hat Makers

50 Year Craftsman Guarantee

All our hats come with a lifetime warranty. What this means is that even if you bought a hat 50 years ago and it starts unraveling, we'll fix it or replace it, free of charge.

Family Business

Second generation USA owned and operated. This company started as a family business, and has continued to stay a family business even through today

Been Here Since 1972

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.

Call us anytime! We don’t want to hide behind our website. We’re real people with a deep love and understanding for all of our hats; so any questions you have we’ll be ready to answer them. Need help picking out a hat? We can do that too! Not only can we help you with any questions or concerns you’re having, we can also help you find the perfect hat for your face shape and lifestyle.

We’re available 9am-5pm PST - give us a call at 831-722-3324.

We dislike returns just as much as the next person, so we’ve vowed to ALWAYS make returns and exchanges painless. If you don’t like your hat, if it doesn’t fit, or you want a different one - we’ll help you. Read our full return and exchange policy here.

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

Reviews Summary
Customers say this hat is comfortable and versatile, perfect for both beach days and casual outings. Many reviews highlight its lightweight feel and excellent fit, with the adjustable sizing being particularly appreciated. The wide brim offers good coverage, and the chin strap helps secure it on windy days. While most love the white color and quality construction, a few note that the band can stain the hat when wet. Frequent comments mention receiving compliments while wearing it and its suitability for various occasions, from poolside to dressed-up events.

    I love my sun hat so much, it bought another one. I use one on the beach, (the leather stained the white a little), and one for getting dressed up. Thank you for making such a great quality hat. Everyone compliments me on it, and I have a lifetime guarantee. I’m very happy with my purchases.

    PERFECTION!

    I bought this hat for a special occasion. We took a distillery tour for my daughter’s 30th birthday and I wanted to keep the sun off my head. Awesome quality, perfect fit and a real stunner!

    Well, I thought so anyway! LOL

    Straw sun hat

    This is a very nice hat! I like the chin strap to keep it on my head when it's windy. I like the straw hat but still offers coverage with the wide brim.
