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.

Reviews Summary
Customers say these hat reducers create a perfect fit for slightly loose hats. Many reviews mention how easy they are to install and use. The reducers help customize hat sizes, with users particularly appreciating the half-size option for fine-tuning fit. Several note they're useful when hat sizes fall between standard measurements. Users describe them as plump, comfortable, and durable, with some mentioning they've replaced their original reducers after years of use. While most find them highly effective, a few mention wanting clearer color-coding information.

    Size reducers helped make my El Dorado Top Hat fit perfect! They velcro right in, replacing the standard sweat band. Comfortable and effective!

    Replaced the worn ones

    Because I have 4 different types of hats, I needed different sizes and this size is what I needed for two of the hats. Thank you
