The cowboy hat is a high-crowned, wide-brimmed hat best known as the signature piece of clothing for the North American cowboy. Today it is worn by many people, and is particularly associated with ranch workers in the western and southern United States.
John Batterson Stetson is credited for originating the modern day American Cowboy Hat. The original was flat-brimmed, had a straight sided crown, with rounded corners manufactured by Stetson in 1865. These light-weight, waterproof hats were natural in color, with four-inch crowns and brims.
