- 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.

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

Got my hat in less than a week. Fit is perfect. No adjustments necessary. Looks great! Same incredible quality as my other hats from American Hat Makers. I wouldn’t buy a hat from anyone else!
Was this helpful?AHAmerican Hat MakersYesterdayWell, shucks! Sounds like your new hat arrived faster than a tumbleweed in a tornado! We're thrilled it fits like a glove (or, you know, a hat!), and that you're looking sharp. Thanks for the fantastic endorsement and those 5 stars always shine bright! We're glad you think we're head and shoulders above the rest! 😉"

This outback style hat is very different from anything I’ve worn before. I love the brown leather and the quality of this wonderful hat. I was so happy with my first Marlow top hat, I immediately bought five more hats after receiving the Marlow.

Wearing a hat like this is a style change for me and I will have to get used to how I look wearing it. By my measurements, I bought the XL which was too big but with the velcro insert, feels pretty good. The hat itself is very nicely made.

I knew I wanted a hat, but I didn't want a Cowboy Hat because I am not a Cowboy. I selected this hat because I felt it matched my personality and style.

Fits my husband’s enormous head. Looks great. He needs this to take care of his cows all year long! He lost his old “floppy hat” a few months ago and loves this one. I like this one which is way more stylish.

- WNWilliam N.Verified BuyerI recommend this productFace Type? Square, LongHead Shape Long OvalHow many American Hat Maker Hats do you have? This is my 3rdRated 5 out of 5 stars5 months agoExcellent Quality .. As Usual!
This Midnight Rider is my third hat from American Hat Makers and is, as usual, made using top quality materials combined with outstanding craftsmanship! I own two of their Cabana hats, that I love, but this is my first leather hat and it's impressive. I'm convinced that, aside from death and taxes, one other thing you can rely on is getting a top-quality product from AHM! And who doesn't love "Made In America "?

Did have to add the half size reducer for snug fit, but liked it out of the box. Would like to know if I can get one with a 3/4" wider brim? Nice leather. Should do good this winter, my felts have always ended up mush after riding in the rain.
Was this helpful?AHAmerican Hat Makers5 months agoThank you, Timothy, for your honest review and valuable feedback. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the hat out of the box and found the half-size reducer helpful for achieving a snug fit.

- PVPeter van E.Verified BuyerI recommend this productFace Type? SquareHead Shape Long OvalHow many American Hat Maker Hats do you have? This is my 1stRated 5 out of 5 stars6 months agoGreat quality hat, beautiful color and perfect fit
My first hat from American Hat Makers... I actually visited the site to view and purchase the Mens Crushable Leather Outback Hat but decided to have a hat that is a little more firm, thicker leather and keeps its shape. That turned out to be the leather Midnight Rider Outback... a quality leather hat, great weight, beautiful color, excellent fit and good/sharp and handsome looking according family, friends and even strangers complimenting me on the hat when I walked my dog today.
I'll add to this review after a couple of months of wearing/using the hat here in Southern California but I'm sure it will hold up 🤠.
