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

    Looks really nice on!

    These hats are really nice and well made. I gave it 4 stars because the size chart is off. I was exactly a large by this chart. When I got it - wears too large. Luckily they include different sizes of brim inserts that made it fit correctly. The instructions say there is also Velcro to help fit the brim inserts but in my box there was nothing like this. Also wish the hat was a little thicker leather to make it richer.

    Fantastic Customer Service and Products are Found Here!

    I recently ordered this hat as a gift for someone that was going on a safari. I thought it looked very stylish and would protect them from the sun. The hat came quickly with tracking through the process. When the hat arrived it was in a nice box, and had a foam ring for the hat to sit in to protect it from damage during shipping. It was packed with care as one could tell and was just beautiful when I removed it from the box. I actually wrapped the box and presented it. Awesome service and product. I was very pleased and felt that my money was well spent. This is a quality oriented company that one can trust on providing one with a nice quality hat. I also bought some add-ons such as a feather, and it was absolutely gorgeous. What a beautiful accent it provided. Thanks you for an amazing purchase. Now I will get myself one!

    The hat itself is very nice looking and I love the colors! My dissatisfaction is with the company. Ordered a small which is 54-55cm. I’m a 54. I recd a small but measured as 57cm! Tried to call during business hours but line just says to leave a message. Never a return call. So did online exchange but no place to say tag faulty. Received exchange. It is 56cm. There is a tightening string in hat, but as it sits 2” above center of head, it doesn’t work at all for me. It may work on a larger head than mine. Company apparently has no quality control. The exchange time was okay.

    This hat is beautiful. It will go with almost everything. I love it. Since it is just a touch too large, i truly appreciate the "spacers" that was also put in the box. Shipment was very quick. The box was sufficiently packed with care. Thank you
