The Cowboy Hat.
The cowboy hat is a defining piece of attire for farm and ranch workers in the western United States, Canada and northern Mexico, for country western singers, and for athletes in the North American rodeo circuit. It is recognized around the world as part of The Western cowboy lore.
The concept of a broad brimmed hat with a high crown worn by a rider on horseback came primarily from the tradition of the Mexican vaquero. However, the cowboy hat as known today has many antecedents to its design, including Mexican hats such as the sombrero and galan, the various designs of wide brimmed hat worn by farmers and stockmen in the eastern United States, as well as the design used by the United States Cavalry.

In the early days, the cowboy hat was valued for being functional, with the wide brim protecting working cowboys from the sun and rain. It could be used to signal others, fan a campfire, or pull water out of a stream. Select this link to view our Western Wolf Dangling Ornament.
