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.

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

    Marlow Leather Top Hat

    Love my new top hat. Can't wait to get other hats. Might have to purchase the 20 count hat holder.

    Shipping was a little slow. No fault of American Hat Makers. Usps had it traveling back and forth. Initially it was less than 20 miles away, then was shipped to Seattle, etc and finally somebody in charge got it routed correctly. Oy. It was probably a one off, but frustrating while waiting for usps to get it together.

    I love the smell of my leather hat. It fits comfortably. I might in future order a larger hat so I can fit a bandana underneath the hat or a beany. My head happens to sweat a lot and I want to protect my thinning hair, just in case .

    Haven't worn in public yet but can't wait to do so. I'm already looking at a future hat. Such great choices. Thank you so much.

    Just What I Wanted

    Received my hat and it was just as described and pictured. It has several "fitting" helpers but mine fit my head without any adjustments. It looks very dashing. Communications about the shipping and arrival were accurate and not too frequent. I am very happy.

    Beautiful and well made

    I love this hat. I feel like the mad hatter but the girl version. Now I have to get my skulls to go one it. The leather and smoothness is beyond amazing. I can't wait to get my cowgirl hat . Thank you so much for the make and the fast and beautiful shipping. The box it came in was superb. You have a customer for life. Now I have to upgrade my hubby. Love from middle earth Kansas. I have no photo. But the hat is Beautiful 😍❤️.
