Straw Cowboy Hats

Cowboy hats are as integral to the U.S. as Mom and apple pie. That’s because they were an integral part of our movement westward. Early pioneers set out westward wearing whatever hat they always wore back in Boston, Chicago, or Pittsburgh. This meant that the first people out west looked distinctly Eastern.

John Stetson first jokingly fashioned a big-brimmed hat for himself and used it on hunting trips. He soon realized the benefit of a huge hat with a stiff, big brim and the cowboy hat was born. It didn’t take long for a straw version to appear for wear in hot weather. Today, cowboy continue to serve the real cow folks out west, as well as anyone else looking to conjure up those images.

Straw Cowboy Hats for Everyone
The FedoraStore.com is the first place to look online for cowboy hats, in leather, straw, and more. Straw cowboy hats give the wearer the sun protection and style of a standard leather cowboy hat but in a much lighter version. Straw can take the form of stiff formal straw, raffia, and even hemp. Raffia and hemp are often made shapeable these days to allow the wearer to bend the brim or the sides depending on his or her need or mood.
