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.

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

    Ditch the ball cap!

    As an avid beachgoer of later middle age I was always one to wear baseball cap to protect my face and ever thinning top cover. Unfortunately this did little to protect my ears, the sides of my face and always left me hot and sweaty on the dome.

    I bought the Breeze to give it a try and it is absolutely, exactly what I needed. Can feel the air blow through on the beach and provides perfect protection with some grown-up style. Love this hat!

    We're thrilled to hear the Breeze has become your new beach companion. Staying cool while getting better sun protection is exactly what it was designed for. We hope it joins you on many more relaxing days by the water. Enjoy, and thanks for choosing American Hat Makers!

    Above and Beyond

    Initially, I did not receive my hat due to a postal personnel delivering to the wrong address. When I let y’all know, immediately I was sent out a second hat. When the post office fixed the initial problem and delivered my original purchase late, I had already received the second hat from AHC. I let AHC know and they said to keep it as a gift. I will be giving it to a friend and letting him know how Amazing your hats are and how above and beyond you went to make sure I had the hat ordered. You have gained a loyal customer.

    Great hat for summer

    I wanted this hat for summer. Particularly to take on a family cruise. Between it being well fitting and ventilated it stays put even in a sea breeze. When I received it I immediately noticed that it was made in such a way that the brim swoops down above my left eye. I wasn’t sure about it at first but I do kinda like how it looks.

    We’re glad to hear the hat fits well, feels ventilated, and is staying secure even in a sea breeze on your cruise. That’s great to hear.

    We also appreciate your note about the brim shape—sometimes those unique styling details take a little getting used to, but we’re happy to hear it’s grown on you.

    Thanks again for your support and for taking the time to leave a review!

    Great hats

    This is my fifth hat from American Hat Maker. I love the Cabana and the Soaker models. I still own all the hats, they really last. A great place to purchase your ahts because AHM stand by their products.
