- 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.

How to Measure Your Head
- Grab a soft measuring tape or a piece of string (like twine or a shoelace) and a ruler or measuring tool
- 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.
- 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
- MEASURE AGAIN!
- Always measure more than once until you get the same number twice
- Find your size in the chart for the perfect fit

My husband has the Marlow in black and now brown. We bought the black one at One **** Biker Chick on Main Street in Daytona Bike Week Feb. 2020. He loves it & wears it all the time. This year I’ve bought him two more hats from you guys, including the brown Marlow. We actually had no idea the black top hat came from your company until he wanted a brown one & I looked inside it! He now has the brown Pathfinder too!
Please tell me if the chain is to remain on the hat band. I was confused. Kirby will never wear another brand hat. He loves the interchangeable inserts for the perfect fit. He loves how he can travel up to 70mph without the hat coming off. Thank you for a quality product!
AHAmerican Hat Makers2 weeks agoThank you so much for sharing this—what a great story!
We’re really happy to hear Kirby is enjoying both the Marlow and Pathfinder, and that they’ve become his go-to hats. It’s great to know the fit system and stability at higher speeds are working so well for him too.
We truly appreciate your support and kind words about our hats—it means a lot to us.

I bought the Marlowe to wear to the local Renaissance festival as it matched the rest of my outfit perfectly. Top quality craftsmanship and always get a lot of compliments on it every year. Still looks new after years of use and I keep the leather moisturized to help it stay that way. Have purchased many other hats here and am always beyond satisfied with them. Thanks again for all the great hats!
AHAmerican Hat Makers1 month agoThank you so much for the amazing feedback! We absolutely love hearing stories like this. The Marlow is such a perfect fit for a Renaissance festival look, and we’re thrilled to hear it’s held up beautifully for you over the years.
It means a lot to know you’ve continued coming back for more hats and have been so happy with the quality and craftsmanship. We truly appreciate your support and hope you keep getting compliments on your hats for many more festivals to come!

I've had my Marlow Lil Evil for several years now. It is always a hit when I break it out!
Recently, my wife and I were invited to a costume event and decided it would be great to each have the same hat to tie our costumes (and us) together, so we added another! The size adjuster options mean that we can set them for any head size (our kids are already looking for opportunities to "swipe" them)! The cushion means they'll be comfortable all evening - which is super important! And they look good enough to display prominently , which we do!
The quality and warranty means you can't go wrong with this investment! I strongly recommend American Hat Makers!
AHAmerican Hat Makers1 month agoThis is awesome to hear, thank you for sharing it!
We love that the Marlow Lil Evil has become such a go-to hat for you over the years, and even better that it’s now a matching set for your costume events. Sounds like it’s doing exactly what it’s meant to do—stand out, fit comfortably, and bring people together.
Also love that the kids are already eyeing them up—that’s usually the best sign they’re good hats! Appreciate the kind words about the fit system, comfort, and quality. That kind of long-term use and trust means a lot to us.
Thanks again for being part of it, and enjoy those hats at your next event!

This is my 4th top hat from American hat makers, my oldest being 6 years at this point. The quality of these hats has always impressed me. Me skull Eldorado looks as good as it did the day it was purchased with very little maintenance required. Judging me the feel the marlow should be another great addition to my collection.
AHAmerican Hat Makers5 months agoThank you, Steve! We’re thrilled to hear that the quality of your American Hat Makers hats has held up so well over the years. It’s great to know the Marlow is living up to your expectations and will be another standout addition to your collection!

As someone who’s worn many hats in life — officer, EMT, firefighter — this one has a special meaning to me. It even appears in my documentary Driven to Help, and over time it’s become a recognizable part of my look.
The craftsmanship is solid, the fit is comfortable, and it holds up during long days at car shows or charity events. It’s one of those pieces that adds character without trying too hard, and people often point it out when they see me in person.
If you’re looking for a top hat with style, durability, and a little bit of personality, this one is worth every penny.
AHAmerican Hat Makers6 months agoWe’re honored that our top hat has become a meaningful part of your look and even made its way into Driven to Help. It’s fantastic to hear it’s comfortable, durable, and turning heads at events. We truly appreciate you sharing your experience. Here’s to many more adventures with your hat!
