If you’re a hat lover, you’re going to love what I have to share today! American Hat Makers was kind enough to send me a couple hats to test out AND a coupon code for my readers who want to get their own!
Now I’m going to be 100% real and honest with y’all right now. I typically do not wear a hat unless it’s a ball cap or beanie. I don’t like anything on my head that is too tight. Most hats tend to give me a headache or they are so loose I feel like they will blow off as soon as the wind blows.
I have a beautiful black cowboy hat that has been collecting dust in my closet for quite some time. I got it with the intentions to use barrel racing but it’s too tight and hurts when it stays on longer than a minute. Not to mention, even though it’s tight, I swear it would come right off in a run.
Anyway though, barrel racing is a thing of the past and not something I’ll be doing again anytime soon. These days most of my riding is a leisurely stroll down the trails on Freya. I always pass people on the trail wearing cowboy hats and get a little twinge of jealousy. I’d love to wear one and dress up in chinks. What cowgirl wouldn’t!
When American Hat Makers reached out to me with this opportunity, I couldn’t pass it up! I knew what I wanted to try but was worried too because of my past experience with cowboy hats. I shared this with them and listened to their advice on what size to get plus how to make it fit properly. They were right too! When the hat came in, it fit perfect!
This is the cowboy hat! It’s called the “Austin” hat. It’s a firm straw hat with the cattleman shape.
I really like it because it’s very light and perfect for warm weather riding. It’s nice enough you can dress up and wear it out dancing or throw it on to ride. I like that it’s easy to clean off if you get it a little dirty.
I think my horse likes it too! 😛
I have to mention too, some of the reasons I agreed to partner with American Hat Makers is because they make it so easy to exchange or return a hat if you don’t like it for any reason. They have a great warranty on their hats and they have many of them, not just cowboy hats. Also, they are family owned and operated!
Now for the great part for you! American Hat Makers was generous enough to give me a 15% OFF code to share with y’all! So do yourself a favor and head over to their website to see all the hats they have. I guarantee you’ll find one you’ll like…and probably not just one!
