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

5

    Lovin my new BadA$$ hat

    I am so impressed with the entire experience with placing my order! I received a thank you email immediately and then received a text answering a question I had in the shipping time. It made me feel like Wow! They actually receive and read the messages sent The quality and design of the hat is just fantastic. I cannot say enough about the customer service with your company. I submitted feedback about the compliments I received when I wore the hat to a music festival. I had mentioned that one of the rivets had come off but I did not care as I put a hat pin in its place. I just wanted to share how happy I was with my purchase. Someone actually read my comment and cared enough to reach out thank me for my purchase and wanted to make it right by replacing the hat since it did not meet their standards. I would say that this company should have an award in Excellance! I am forever a customer and will refer others! Thank you for the high quality of care and product!

    Fabulous Hat! Perfect Fit!

    I've been trying to find the perfect straw hat for years. A high crown elongated my already long face, but when I found this hat, I was thrilled. The fit is perfect!

    Surprised!

    I took a chance with ordering this cowboy hat online. The return policy took the worry out though, and I went for it.

    I followed the size chart and used the added insert. It felt like a custom hat, perfect fit, nice and cool for hot weather. Thank you !

    Lucas straw hat flexible material

    I love the look and ease of this hat. It’s not a hard stiff straw but flexible and perfect for the outdoors to keep you cool and protected from the sun.

    Perfect Hat for Women of any Age!

    I don't know how many times I try to find the right hat, especially for Summer. The shape, color, and size are perfect for my small hat. I ordered the same hat a few days later because I wanted to be sure that I have a backup if I would lose the other one. Also, the quality of the material for making the hat is great.

    It looks great, Bel! Your positive review makes us proud of our hat's sun protection and breathable fabric features. It's great to know that it's keeping you cool while shielding you from the sun's rays.
