The Head n Home® Hat company was originally founded by Gary Watrous. He went from selling leather belts and wallets out of his Chevy station wagon in 1972 to the hat company Head n Home has become today.

Today we are called American Hat Makers, but still trace our roots back to Head n Home Hats. We are located in Watsonville California, which is between Santa Cruz and Monterey in the center of beautiful Monterey Bay. Head n Home has been around the Monterey Bay area for over 40 years and our Head n Home handmade hats have become a staple of the area.

Head n Home Watsonville has become our home base where we manfacture and distribute all of our hats. Head n Home California employs over 35 hard working Americans who strive to deliver the best possible experience to the hat buyer.

We have grown so much since our founding, but still pay homage to our original hats. Our original best sellers; the Crusher, the El Dorado, the Cabana, and the Breeze are still our flagship models. We are a customer focused business, and the fact that hats we've been making for years and years are still flying off our shelves shows that our hats are truly timeless.
