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

    Sacrificing comfort for style!

    I love this Vector hat so much, I just had to have one. This is the 2nd hat I've purchased from AHM, although I was very disappointed when I learned AHM didn't make the Vector in my size of XXL. But AHM offered me the opportunity to at least try an XL on for size, with the stipulation that I might return it. Out of the box it fit quite snug, but after removing the inner bands front and back and removing the velcro tabs, it fits good enough, that I decided to keep it. Like my Marlow hat which did mold to my head after some sweat & time. I'm confident the Vector hat will do the same. The Vector hat is a fine example of quality and my story is a testament of how far one will go to own one. Although I highly suggest to AHM when making a big hats like the vector or alike, please think about the larger heads in the world. This hat without a doubt should have came in three sizes. L, XL & XXL . Would also like to say if the Vector hat is ever made in XXL I would definitely buy it again. Jack V. a.k.a. pumpkinhead.

    wearability

    Just returned from Daytona Beach Bike Week 2025, first two days my head got sunburnt, I had to cover it while riding, I tried dew rags, but they blew off, sock hats, always pulling down, to keep them on, Bought an AHM hat and was amazed, after 300 miles and many at 70 mph, this hat never moved. it is stylish, looks great and of unmatched quality. Well worth the money. Would highly recommend.

    Great Hat

    Very nice hat! Box came a little beat up and a bit squished but stuffing the hat puffed it right back out. Quality is excellent and very comfortable to wear. Really nice style to it!

    Excellent Customer Service

    I loved the idea of this hat and I’m an AHM loyalist. When I received it, the square nails were missing. I contacted customer service and they had them in the mail the next day. I’ve purchased several hats and have never had buyer’s remorse. I just wish I could afford some of the dragon hats. Sucks to be poor.
