The cowboy hat is more than just an accessory: it's a symbol of style and tradition. Whether you're a horseman, a Western fashion enthusiast, or simply looking for a hat for a special occasion, here are some tips for choosing the right one.
1. Choose the right material
We offer different types of straw and felt hats , each with its own advantages:
- Straw (20X) : Light and airy, perfect for warmer seasons and summer events.
- Felt (3X, 4X, 8X) : Ideal for cooler months, it offers a more elegant appearance and better protection against wind and rain.
2. Select the shape and model
Choosing the right style depends on your style and intended use. Some crowns are taller, others lower, and the brims vary in width and curvature. Try several styles to see which one suits you best.
3. Find the perfect size
A hat should be comfortable and fit well without being too tight. Here's how to measure your size:
- Take a soft tape measure
- Place it around your head, about 1 cm above the eyebrows and ears
- Note the measurement in centimeters and compare it with the manufacturer's size guide.
- If you are between two sizes, choose the larger one and use a size reducer if necessary.
Tips:
-
A hat that is too tight can cause headaches, while one that is too loose may slip off.
-
Over time, a felt hat may stretch slightly, so take this into account when choosing one.
4. Choose the right brand
We carry hats from reputable brands such as Bullhide Hats and American Hat Makers , known for their quality and impeccable workmanship.
5. Choose the ideal color
Black, brown, beige, or even bolder shades: color plays a key role in your look. Opt for a classic shade for a timeless style or go bold with color to make a statement.
6. Maintaining your hat
To extend the life of your hat, here are some tips:
-
Storage : Keep it on a suitable stand or upside down on its crown to avoid warping the brim.
-
Cleaning : Use a soft brush to remove dust and a slightly damp sponge for stains.
-
Protection : Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun or excessive humidity to preserve its shape and color.
