Modern cowboy hats: the epitome of adventure and freedom

Cowboy hats have always been the epitome of adventure and freedom. Robust Dallas hats protect the heads of American farmers from wind and weather, cowboy hats are indispensable accessories for western riding and inspire fashion designers from all over the world. Find out now who invented the classic western hat, which different materials are used to make high-quality western hats and why it is worth it for you to buy a cowboy hat from the cowboy boot shop that will impress you with its high functionality as well as its distinctive look.

Good to know: Who invented the cowboy hat?

The history of the cowboy hat goes back to the 19th century. Originally from Mexico, the "Ten Gallon Hat" with its wide brim was worn primarily by mounted cattle herders to protect themselves from the sun. With the conquest of Mexico by the Americans, the practical western hats finally made their way to North America, where they have been a success ever since. The classic hat model was invented by an American hatter's son from Philadelphia named John B. Stetson in 1865. To this day, the "Stetson" with its slightly curved brim, decorative hat band and three parallel indentations in the crown is the preferred cowboy hat for men and women.

Western or cowboy hats: What shapes and materials are available?

Whether it is a durable cowboy hat made of leather, a light cowboy hat made of straw or a robust cowboy hat made of wool felt: the range of cowboy hats for women and cowboy hats for men available in the cowboy boot shop is almost limitless. To help you buy a cowboy hat that suits you exactly in terms of shape, color and style, we have put together a small overview of the three most popular cowboy and western hats and their characteristic features. 1. The original cowboy hat: You can recognize classic western hats by their high head part and their teardrop-shaped indentation on the crown of the hat. A wide, slightly upwardly curved brim, into which a flexible wire mesh is often worked for better shaping, is typical of the timeless original made of felt, straw or leather. 2. The Cattleman: This type of cowboy hat impresses with its centrally notched and very high head part with indentations on the sides. The brim that curves far upwards is a characteristic of this hat, which is made of wool felt or animal hair and is often decorated with feathers or grosgrain ribbons. It is sturdy and was even used to transport water in the past. 3. The Traveller: This extremely durable western hat is characterized by its downward-curved brim and the rounded indentations on the sides. As a real all-rounder, this hat is crush-proof and water-repellent, which makes the Traveller an indispensable companion when traveling.

What exactly is a cowboy hat?

The classic cowboy or western hat, such as the Denton II Fawn cowboy hat by Justin Hats, is made of felted wool. Western hats typically have a flexible and bendable brim and the characteristic dent in the crown of the hat. Felt wool makes them weatherproof and durable. But hats made of canvas or straw are also very popular. These are particularly airy and therefore the perfect accessory for summer. The western hat, which is usually seen in black, brown, beige or white, becomes really trendy when it is decorated with ethnic embroidery, stones and decorations. Even the popular color gradient trend does not stop at the chic hats, which are considered real eye-catchers. In our online shop, you can find both the classics in black or brown, as well as the creative trend hats. So what are you waiting for? Get the cowboy hat that perfectly complements your style!

The cowboy hat for men

Originally, cowboys wore their hats mainly for practical reasons when working on the ranch or riding. Today, however, the cowboy hat for men is much more than just comfortable protection against dust, sun and rain. Western hats give men a casual and confident look, as Hollywood stars have long proven. They can be perfectly combined with classic blue jeans and a shirt, but basically go with almost any outfit. The wool felt hats look much more high-quality than other headgear, such as hats or caps, and have long been considered an absolute status symbol in Australia, the USA and especially Texas.
