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

    The Best traveling hat!

    I brought this flat in a suitcase for a 2 week stay at a friend's. When I put it on for poolside they were wondering how I brought it! I folded it in front of them and said I love this hat! They were impressed. Ive worn it everyday at the pool! So comfortable! Its now my go to hat!

    Thank you so much for sharing this! We’re thrilled to hear your hat traveled so well and became your go-to for poolside days. Even better that it impressed your friends—that’s exactly what we love to hear. We really appreciate your support and feedback!

    Love my new Fedora Hat!

    This is my 2nd hat from American Hat Makers and I've historically found it difficult to find hats that aren't too big. My brother and I both purchased the Cabana Solair model hats on a trip to New Mexico about 7 years ago. They've had a good deal of use, and look as good as the day we bought them. I frequently get compliments on mine, but wanted a slightly different style and color. I looked at my first one for the clearly marked size, ordered, and in just a few days had my new hat! In addition to emails confirming my purchase with tracking #, the owner of the company sends out an email to say thank you. What company does that- none I've ever ordered from before! It fits well, feels comfortably, and provides nice protection from the sun. Now I have the dilemma of which to wear! Solved it on my last getaway by bringing them both! Thank you, American Hat Makers, for your excellent service!

    Angela, we're over the moon that our Cabana Solair hats have been such a hit for you and your brother! The fact that you've been rocking those signature styles for over 7 years and they're still going strong is a true testament to the quality and craftsmanship we put into every piece. We love creating well-made, comfortable headwear that looks as great as the day you first slipped it on.
    Your kind words about our excellent service have us grinning from ear to ear. Providing a top-notch customer experience from purchase to delivery (and beyond!) is extremely important to us. We take immense pride in our passion for quality craftsmanship and personalized attention. 5 stars are always appreciated! Thank you!

    Love this transitional and night hat

    Perfect weight and color for spring and all summer at night. It's black and light-colored, a tight weave, and I am planning to wear it tonight when I go to hear some music. I'm a hat-lover, and this is my second favorite -- after another from American Hat Makers !

    A well made hat. It looks very cute on. I had great customer service when my hat was lost in the mail and it showed up shortly after I contacted the company. Very satisfied.

    Two -tone Woven Straw Fedora Hat

    I really like the hat. With the size adjustment strips, it fits perfectly. Like the color, too.
