Nashville's Original Custom Hat Bar

Create your own one-of-a-kind cowboy hat at American Paint, a luxury custom hat bar in downtown Nashville. Work one-on-one with our expert designers to personalize your hat with premium materials, handcrafted bands, feathers, branding, and unique embellishments.

Perfect for Nashville bachelorette parties, girls' trips, birthdays, corporate events, and group experiences, American Paint offers an unforgettable, appointment-based hat-making experience in Music City.

THE LEGACY

The idea behind American Paint Hat Co. began with Jennifer Wayne’s love of hats and the image of her grandfather, John Wayne, wearing them on screen. She wanted to create a Nashville store where people could take that same sense of character and make it their own.

Today, we are selling hats with John Wayne-inspired quotes and design details at John Wayne: An American Experience in Fort Worth.
