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

    Fit to Wear

    Received the beautiful Outback hat today. Its high quality was obvious: beautiful, soft felt, shaped to a classic Fedora. Was worried hat may be a little big for my head. Upon unwrapping and checking out the hat itself, found a strange cloth strip along the inside band. After some fiddling, discovered it was a strip velcroed on each end to adjust size to fit individual heads! Such attention to detail! I’m not sure if a hat twice this cost would do that. Truly “fit” in every sense. Thank you American Hat Makers.

    Fantastic hat and company

    I ordered the Moab Zion | Mens Crushable Wool Felt Outback Hat. Shipping was quick . I found the hat did not fit as I wanted. The exchange process was very quick and easy. My replacement hat had a small imperfection and was told to send it back . I was going and trip and they sent the replacement second day air.

    Very few companies have such quick and responsive customer .

    I highly recommend American Hat Makers if you are looking for a high quality reasonably priced hat.

    I don't often buy a hat...

    My girl suggested that a black cowboy hat would look good on me. I'm not a cowboy, I'm a Virginian, and I do appreciate a fine non-cowboy felt hat, which this is! I like that it is also crushable , so I can stow it in my Harley saddlebags to take with me. AMH made returns easy. I first ordered a Large, but my size is just on the edge between L and XL. The replacement hat came quickly, and the sizing inserts for the headband made for a perfect fit!

    She says I look good in it! Who am I to argue!?

    Fit feel & appearance

    The hat feels great on and love the look! The only wish I have is that it had a smooth edge without a lip on the brim and it was a little wider. I do feel that it dips nicely for the way I wanted it.
