Why Country Hats

The most iconic piece of western ware is the cowboy hat. Hands down. Identified by its round, curved brim, and pinched crown, it’s one of the most recognizable and historical accessories of all time. Like all western attire, cowboy hats were originally designed for function, rather than fashion. A hat provided shade, protection from the elements, and warmth for the wearer, but could also be used to fan a fire or be waved from horseback to catch the attention of a fellow rider in the distance. Cowboy hats are as versatile as the individuals who wear them.

Men have been wearing wide-brimmed hats as far as the Mongoilan horsemen in the 13th century. However, the modern day cowboy hat, that we all know and love, was invented in 1865 by John B. Stetson, who took inspiration from the hats worn by the Mexican Vaqueros. Contrary to what many western movies portray, the Vacqueros were the first cowboys in North America.
