In reality, cowboys rarely wore that hat. It wasn’t even designed until 1865. John B. Stetson designed the hat based on Mexican vaqueros hats. According to the National Cowboy Museum, the hat went through several designs before landing on the classic look we know today. It became popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for its durability, but few people wore it during the Wild West era. 33 minutes ago, Headstall said: That's right. Most wore felt derby hats with wide brims. Working cowboys would widen the the normally curved up brims by steaming the felt and flattening the brim so it offered more protection from the sun and rain. Older derbys or bowlers would flatten out just from wear, but for photos, most cowboys tended to wear new bowler hats if they could. Cowboys cared about function more than looks when they were out on the range. Many wore fur hats in colder weather, and a lot of them wore vaquero (sombrero type hats) for the vicious sun in the south. <cough> Nerds <cough> 1 5

Interesting topic, but what would James look like in a bowler hat? 😉 I still like cowboys in Stetsons better. 1 3 1
