The Purpose and Power of a Cowboy Hat

A properly chosen cowboy hat enhances posture, communicates heritage, and completes a rider’s silhouette.

FAQs – Cowboy Hats

What type of cowboy hat is best for summer?
Straw cowboy hats are the most popular choice for hot weather. They’re lightweight, breathable, and often come with vented crowns for airflow, making them ideal for trail riding, festivals, or ranch work in the heat.

How do I choose the right crown shape and brim size?
Crown shapes like Cattleman, Pinch Front, and Gus each give a different look and fit. Rounder faces may benefit from taller crowns, while wide brims offer more sun protection. Brim widths typically range from 3” to 4.5” depending on personal style and function.

Can cowboy hats be custom-shaped or resized?
Yes, many cowboy hats—especially felt and palm leaf styles—can be steam-shaped to adjust the brim or crown. Some hats also include adjustable sweatbands to ensure a snug fit.

Are cowboy hats unisex?
Absolutely. Cowboy hats are designed for both men and women. Many styles are considered unisex, while others offer sizing, crown shapes, and colors tailored more specifically for either gender.

How do I care for my cowboy hat?
Store your hat upside-down on its crown or on a hat stand to maintain shape. For straw hats, use a soft cloth to wipe dirt. Felt hats should be brushed with a hat brush. Always keep your hat dry and out of direct heat sources to avoid shrinking or warping.
