Garth Watrous

Established by founder Gary Watrous in 1973, American Hat Makers-Head’n Home Hats is a privately held manufacturing company that has been proudly handcrafting hats in the U.S.A. for over 40 years. We are a leader in the industry and offer superior quality and design across 7 distinct product lines, to guarantee that we have a hat for any occasion. Our mission is to provide our customers with distinctive, American made, one-of-a-kind, artisan hats made by hand with the finest materials. Beyond the creation of superior products, we are dedicated to treating our customers and employees with compassion and integrity, and have made a commitment to bettering our community through service, philanthropy, and open-heartedness. A worldwide community of consumers including boutiques, hat stores, and hat distributors, coupled with a widespread relationship with niche communities such as biker rallies, art festivals, music festivals, and cosplay conventions, shows our hats are worn anywhere and everywhere. Our cutting edge production process allows us to pursue more aggressive lead times each and every day. Being an American made company allows us the flexibility to truly deliver quality service and has granted us the ability to produce small-batch orders to fulfill customer needs. To show that we confidently stand behind each of our products, we offer an unconditional lifetime guarantee on our entire line. With an undeniable passion for innovation, involvement in our community, and a forward thinking mindset, our team has become a model for conscious business practices. From the humble beginnings of selling handmade leather goods out of the back of a Chevy station wagon, we have become a large company with a global presence. Garth Watrous, Gary’s son, has assumed command of the company and is driving us to new heights. We are quickly moving forward and partnering with other big names to grow the hat industry into a bustling world of successful business and co-existence.
