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

    Hollywood hat at a Latino Rave

    The hat fits good and looks good. Removed the original band and added a strip of leather with a Buffulo nickel band on top. Looks like it needs a little adjustment and the pic is a little off

    The Real Deal

    Ordered the Hollywood due to it's shape and color available, and I love leather. Was quite surprised at the quality of the leather and its finish and craftsmanship overall. The fit was slightly large and I simply installed the included fitment pads inside it under the band and now it's perfect, fits snug and I could do a flip and it won't come off. It is now my favorite hat displacing a former favorite ball cap. This is the real deal.

    We’re thrilled to hear how much you’re loving your Hollywood hat and that the leather quality, finish, and craftsmanship exceeded your expectations.

    It’s also great to know the included fit pads helped you dial in the perfect fit — sounds like it’s staying put no matter what now! Hearing that it replaced your former favorite cap and became your go-to hat truly means a lot to us.

    Thank you again for your support, and enjoy your new favorite hat!

    Amazing hat! I have bought many hats from different vendors. I absolutely appreciate a hat that fits well and is comfortable! I have a big head and ordered the 3X. This hat is the best hat I have ever bought. Looks good and feels great. If more hats on the site had 3X options, I would absolutely buy others.

    Thank you so much for this awesome feedback!

    We’re especially glad to hear the 3X fit hit the mark—finding a comfortable, great-looking hat for a larger head size isn’t always easy, so that means a lot to us. It’s great to know this one stands out as the best you’ve owned!

    We also hear you on wanting more 3X options, and we’ll be sure to share that with our team. We truly appreciate your support and hope this hat gets plenty of wear!

    Great Quality, only 1 flaw

    Leather quality feels great. If you're in-between sizes, make sure you size up! I did, and it fits snug. Only complaint is that the hat is significantly crooked (see photo.) Wishing I hadn't cut the chin strap off before noticing it.

    Thanks for the feedback—we’re glad to hear you’re happy with the leather quality and fit overall.

    On the issue with the hat being crooked, that’s definitely not the experience we want. If you’d like us to take a closer look or help sort this out, please reach out to us at info@americahatmakers.com

    Ready to test this one in the rain

    This leather cowboy hat is 5 steps ahead of the usual felt and straw lids. Because it comes with a chin strap I ordered a size large. Don't want to lose this treasure in the high winds in the basin and range terrain. Keep up the good work!

    It’s great to hear the leather cowboy hat is already out doing real work in the basin and range terrain—that’s exactly where it belongs. The chin strap was designed for those kinds of conditions, so it’s good to know it’s proving useful. Thanks again for the support and for putting it through its paces!

    2nd Hollywood

    Have had the copper for everyday and work, beat up and broke in and still going strong. Get compliments on it frequently. Wanted something for dress and casual so got the black. Love it. The Hollywood just fits me perfect. I prefer without the chin chord so I cut them off.

    It’s awesome that your copper Hollywood has held up through everyday wear and still gets compliments. The black one sounds like the perfect addition for dress and casual — and we totally get customizing it by removing the chin cord. Thanks for sharing your experience!

    Awesome hat. Very high quality especially for the low price. I bought a leather cowboy hat in Aspen for $700 last year and it doesn’t fit nearly as well as this one does.
