Clothing cowboy was the most convenient and practical. Cowboy hats go back to almost the inception of the cowboy himself.  However, It is not clear when the cowboy’s hat began to be named as such. Westerners originally had no standard head wear. People moving west wore many styles of hat, including top hats, derbies, remains of Civil War headgear, sailor hats and everything else. The working cowboy wore wide-brimmed, high-crowned hats long before the invention of the modern design. However, credit for “invention” of the cowboy hat as it is known today is generally given to John Batterson Stetson.

Cowboy hat was made of felt and was very practical. It protected the head from the sun and rain, as well as replace the bucket and a fan.

The History of Stetson Hats

In 1865, with $100, John B. Stetson rented a small room, bought the tools he needed, bought $10 worth of fur and the John B. Stetson Hat Company was born. A year later the “Hat of the West” or the now famous “Boss of the Plains” hat was born and the name Stetson was on its way to becoming the mark of quality, durability, innovation and beauty.

John B. Stetson experienced trying times in his life but after it all he relied on the one thing he did exceptionally well, making hats. He was trained by his father, a master hatter, and applied his skills and knowledge to a trade that, at the time was not held in high regard.

Today the Stetson hat factory in Garland, Texas is one of the largest in the country and produces a line of hats in hundreds of different styles and colors.
