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

5

    Wonderful straw hat!

    I love this thing - the holes in the band offer great ventilation, especially compared to the baseball caps I normally wear. I needed something more upscale to wear with sport coats, and this really fits the bill. I love the velcro sizer built into the sweatband, no need for the sticky sizers here! I ended up going with a large and I love this thing. Next up - a nice hat stand, and my first travel hat box!

    We really appreciate the detailed feedback!

    We’re glad to hear the ventilation, fit system, and overall style are working so well for you, especially for dressier wear. It’s great to know it’s filling that gap between casual and sport coat looks.

    And hat stand + travel hat box sounds like the perfect next setup — you’re definitely doing it right. Enjoy it, and thanks again for the support!

    Perfect summer hat

    I have had to start wearing wider brim hats due to some skin cancer and general skin damage from too much sun. I typically never wore them before because I assumed they were hot and cumbersome. Had I known how much I would like this hat I would have gotten one years ago- it is super light and stylish- my wife digs it. I will be ordering another!

We're honored that our hat is helping you stay protected while looking great, and we're thrilled to hear you'll be ordering another one.

    Very nice hat.

    It's light weight and the venting is handy. Also the crown isn't too tall (4 inches) and the front of the brim has a nice subtle curve down. Just how I like it. Thanks!

    Runs small

    The shipping was super fast. I received this in a week. The hat is amazing and just became my favorite. If you look at there size chart it runs about 1/4 small. For the price the hat band is weak. Looks cheap. Still love the hat but fix the band
