Been Here Since 1972

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

    Thanks for the great feedback—we’re really glad the Wyatt fits you well, especially with sizing being tricky for you.

    We hear you on hats being tough to order, and we’re happy this one worked out. The Falcon is a solid next pick, so if you’ve got questions on fit or sizing for that one, we’re here to help.

    Snugg

    It’s a bit snug (my head is 23.5” circumference so I got LG.) There’s no chin strap so I might lose it in one of our KC breezes. My other purchase was a Florence and as a LG as well, it fit great. I do love the Wyatt’s natural color and big brim.

    We’re glad to hear you love the Wyatt’s natural color and large brim, and also that the Florence in the same size fit you well. We understand the Wyatt feeling a bit snug for you despite choosing LG, and we appreciate you pointing that out.

    We also hear your note about the chin strap — that’s helpful feedback, especially for breezier conditions like KC. It’s great to know overall you’re enjoying the style, and we’ll keep your sizing and strap comments in mind for future improvements.

    Thanks again for your support!

    It's a seriously nice hat

    I' don't know why I'm surprised after getting AHM consistently exceeding expectations, but this hat did. The quality is so much nicer than other hats. I thought about getting a hat at half the price that I thought was nice but decided to take advantage of the satisfaction guarantee, so this hat had to exceed all expectations.

    It did!

    It means a lot that the hat not only met expectations but actually exceeded them, especially after you were considering other options. That’s exactly what we aim for with every piece—quality you can feel the moment you put it on.

    We’re glad the satisfaction guarantee gave you the confidence to try it, and even happier that it delivered. Enjoy wearing it out there!

    Great hat

    I initially purchased a hat that was too small and returning it was so way and fast. Within two short weeks, I had my new hat and it fit a looks great! This is my first cowboy hat in 40 years, since I was a foreman on a ranch in Montana. This hat has brought back great memories and I get lots of compliments on it.

    Very happy customer.
