The American Hat Company 7800 straw hat is an absolute standout in the world of high-end Western headwear—hands down one of the best straw cowboy hats you can own if you're serious about quality, durability, and that sharp, authentic look.
Handcrafted in Bowie, Texas, this hat screams premium from the moment you unbox it. The double-lacquered and double-pressed construction is no gimmick: it makes the straw incredibly tough against sweat, sun, rain, and daily ranch wear while keeping your custom crease razor-sharp season after season. No sagging, no warping—just crisp lines that hold up whether you're roping, riding, or hitting the town.
I went with the Cattleman crown paired with the JB wide brim, and the shaper did an excellent job shaping it—perfectly balanced, clean lines, and it sits just right without any funky angles or uneven dips. That combo gives it a classic yet bold profile, with the wider brim providing extra sun protection and presence while the Cattleman keeps the traditional cowboy vibe strong. The venting (like those fancy square patterns on many 7800s) adds great breathability for hot Florida days, and the overall fit and feel are top-notch, excellent job shaping the hat.
