That's wonderful. Growing up in Philly, we often played against the Stetson school. ( Now a charter school, but I think it was a junior high when we played in the 70's) If I'm not mistaken, the giant building in which the Stetson hats were manufactured is still standing--although, with all the development in the city, it could have been demolished in recent years.

Never wore anything other than a baseball cap till I moved to California. It's a dry heat, but so is an oven, and the sun just feels inescapable. Bought a cowboy/outback hat and have loved it ever since. As silly as they can look, the cowboy hat is a wonderfully practical thing, and a great piece of Americana. Great video!

I wore these caps for a long time, but when working, hiking, or when it's really hot, they get soaked like crazy. I improvised a turban on a hike and it was a difference like night and day! Later, I purchased a straw hat. It's the best for hot days. No question.

As a Texan, I've taken it even one step further; an enormous straw sombrero. They allow the top of the head to breathe through good ventilation and provide shade to face, neck, and shoulders, as well as the upper chest and back. Most have an adjustable chin strap, which is important with such a large brimmed hat on windy days. You just have to accept the fact that you are 'that guy' now. You know, that guy who wears a sombrero.😅

Throughout most of the year 2011 I was living in Madera, CA (county & city just north of Fresno County & City.) Being an area located in California's central agricultural "bowl," I ended up working part-time as a ranch-hand. Being that I was, more or less, considered a "city boy," I was often given grief, by the local population, of my country/farm/ranch-working inexperience. Eventually though, the man I did the most work for would acknowledge my eventual acquired knowledge and ability to work as a proficient ranch-hand by gifting me with a brand-new Stetson, white-straw, "cowboy" hat.

Un régal, une fois de plus ! C'est vrai que ce couvre-chef est iconique. A tel point d'ailleurs que, quand des amies texanes de mon épouse sont venues nous voir en France il y a deux ans et qu'elles m'ont demandé ce qu'elles pouvaient m'apporter qui me ferait plaisir, la réponse a été immédiate : grand fan de westerns devant l'éternel (mais les vieux, hein, ceux de John Ford, Howard Hawks, Henry Hathaway ou Anthony Mann, ou ceux de Sergio Leone, pas ceux d'aujourd'hui), je rêvais d'un vrai boss of the plains. Ça les a un peu étonné, mais elles m'en ont quand même apporté un, un magnifique chapeau (de chez Stetson, bien sûr) superbement emballé dans son carton enrubanné à l'ancienne et agrémenté d'une majestueuse plume d'aigle... Je n'imaginais pas à quel point ce genre de chapeau pouvait être grand et surtout rigide par rapport aux fedoras en feutre que je porte régulièrement en hiver. Pour tout dire, ce genre de chapeau est tellement marqué qu'il est quasiment impossible à porter en Europe, mais quelle splendeur ! Et merci aussi d'avoir souligné que le vrai chapeau qui a fait la conquête de l'ouest, c'est surtout le melon même s'il est beaucoup moins majestueux.... Mais franchement, vous imaginez John Wayne, Gary Cooper ou Clint Eastwood défourailler avec un melon sur la tête ? 😂

I grew up on a cattle ranch in central Washington state in the 1950s and 60s. My first jobs were in the saddle, herding cattle, riding fence (repairing fences) and so on. I wore a cowboy hat, and frankly they were so common we didn’t even call them “cowboy” hats. They were just called “hats.” Any other kind of hat, a pork pie hat, a fedora, a beanie or (shudder) a beret wad a descriptive name (I.e. pork pie, fedora, newsboy, etc.). I only knew of a few people who had Stetson hats. Most people I knew got their hats from the feed store or J.C. Penney’s. Our small town didn’t have a real haberdasher, but the local clothing store sold Stetsons and Stetsons were too expensive for most of us to buy. These days I mostly wear flat caps. I’m partial to Harris tweed or linen flat caps. Cowboy hats take up too much room.

In the US Army, Cavalry units (either ground or air) wear black Stetsons for formal and ceremonial events. As made popular to the world in the movie "Apocalypse Now" with the character LTC "Bill" Kilgore of the Air Cav. As reference to the image of a the cowboy giving water to his horse with his hat, when a Cav Trooper earns his spurs either in combat or a spur ride (an initiation event for new troopers), a soldier may wear a Stetson but after it is broken in. Story goes that when the rider would give water to a horse with his hat, the dyes in the fabric would give the horse (pardon my crudeness) the shits. So they would have to break in their hats with water to get ride of the dye. In the US Cav, a new trooper breaks in his Stetson with a concoction of booze, oil, sand, tabasco, or whatever imaginative ingredients their Spur Holder (one who earned their spurs and their senior) and is expected to drink it down.

When I traveled to Australia in 2011, I found that their take on the same style of hat, as made by Jacaru Australia, suited me more than those from my home country, the USA -- enough so that I ended up buying more of them. Recently, someone actually realized that I wasn't wearing an American cowboy hat and said, "Crocodile Dundee, right?" Well, I wasn't trying to emulate Paul Hogan, but northern Nevada, where I live, is very sunny and quite hot in the summer, and despite the desert climate, it can both rain and even snow here, so this hat works well for me, especially as I'm bald on top and sun-sensitive to boot. When I visited my father after not seeing him for many years, he was so taken with my Jacaru hat that he asked if I had a spare, which it so happened that I had, and I sent him one for Father's Day.

I'll throw out that a big reason bowler, derby, and boater hats were popular was how they were more resistant to blowing off while riding. Cowboy hats tend to be more difficult to keep on your head in gusty weather, especially straw hats. I have a Resistol brick-crown straw hat I wear during the summer, (Straw is worn from the end of May to Labor Day, as the saying goes), and a Stetson cattleman crease felt hat in the winter. The Stetson stays on my head alright in high wind, but I have to chase the Resistol down every few weeks. I definitely tend to favor a cap when it gets gusty. 🤣

​@@KernfederateCoca Cola cowboyish is those super cranked up affairs with feather duster hat bands. A real cowboy would spend up to 12 hours in the saddle regardless of conditions, and had just one hat. So stampede strings were a must, even if you had to poke holes in the brim. It may not have held the hat on, but you wouldn't lose it 100 miles from town. When your hat is also your shelter from the elements that's the last thing you want to have happen.

My favorite use of this hat is in the early William S. Hart silent film, Hell's HInges, where his character, Blaze Trace, a prototypical western gunfighter and all-round tough hombre, who follows no flag, comes to a wild western town, wearing a black Stetson. He falls for the minister's sister, starts fighting for civilization and good behavior (but still taking the law into his own hands, naturally) and all of a sudden--with no explanation--his Stetson is white. This may be where the trope of 'black hat' and 'white hat' originated in the western genre. We are given to understand that his hat somehow sensed Blaze's change of character, and accordingly changed hue, like a mood ring. :)

Great video! Very glad you pointed out the wide brimmed slouch hats of the American Civil War. I recently got my first bowler, and was reading about how it is supposedly the "real" cowboy hat, that the Boss of the Plains did not become widespread until near the end of the era of the Old West... but when I looked up vintage photographs of real people from that era, most of them are wearing some variation of a wide brimmed felt hat, not a bowler or a sombrero. So it seems to me that, at least in the field, something that approximated the look of a cowboy hat was indeed in general use. My theory is that these hats are indeed slouch hats left over from the Civil War. What are your thoughts? Maybe you could do a video on the slouch hat, and show us how it differs from what eventually became the cowboy hat that is recognized today.

In southeastern Brazil the caipira population (which would be equivalent to the hillbillies in the US) had their own traditional hat which had a wide brim which was the "tropeiro hat" and the straw hat (that spread throughout the rest of the country, becoming traditional mainly on the Party of St John), however, with the industrialization of the big cities, the population practicing the rural exodus ended up forgetting their cultural roots, and the cowboy hat replaced their old clothing, becoming too western, and spread it to the rest of the country, as beautiful as it is, it is sad to see how it has replaced many cultural garments around the world, especially in places that had great contact with American culture.

You should take a look at the "chupalla"; the traditional low-crown-wide-brimmed hat of the Chilean "Huaso".

Always tip your hat with your left hand so you can still shake hands with your right hand.

Cool hat, but I'll stick with my tricorn (okay, says the one who is wearing a Brodie Mk2 in his profile picture).

It's funny. I'm an American man who lives in a southern state, and my favorite hat that own is a cowboy hat. The reason I bought one? I wanted a hat that would keep the sun off my face and I feel like I look silly in a baseball cap.
