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.

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

    A beauty

    The Rancher wide brim felt fedora from American Hat Makers has quickly become one of my favorite wardrobe staples. From the moment I put it on, I could feel the quality and attention to detail that went into crafting this hat. The felt is luxuriously soft yet sturdy enough to withstand the wear and tear of my busy days. What I love most is how effortlessly it blends rugged charm with a touch of sophistication—I can wear it out on a casual day or to a dressier event, and it fits right in. I’ve lost count of the compliments I’ve received while wearing it; it’s become a conversation starter more times than I can remember. This hat isn’t just an accessory; it’s a confidence booster and a style statement. If you’re looking for a standout piece that will elevate your look, the Rancher is the one.

    It is a great looking hat!

    I really love the fit and the feel of the hat! I curled the brim myself with steam over the stove and I really like the way it looks. Trying to get a decent picture to show it .

    Didn’t disappoint

    When I received my first hat I was pleased with the craftsmanship and quality. I actually ordered 4 more once I knew these were the hats for me. I took them to a local shop to have the brim shaped to my liking and they had no issues with that. The only regret I have right now is that the Black in size Large is Out of Stock. Hopefully this will change soon so I will be able to purchase my 6th hat from them. Shipping was fast and communication was excellent all the way through.
