Cowboy Hat

Modern hats are made up of felt, leather or straw. Inside the hat, there is a sweatband that helps it to fit properly on the head and one on the outside part for decoration of the crown. These hats can be customized in any colour but usually, they are designed in shades of black, beige or brown. In the olden days, they were made up of only pastel colours.

The cowboy hats had got stampede strings or wind strings which prevents the hat from getting blown off while riding at great speed. These long strings are either made with leather or horsehair. They are installed halfway of the crown of the hat and pass through the small holes on each side and ends up securely at the chin keeping intact the position of the hat even on a windy day or while riding a horse. To make the person an easy target, in the olden days the hats would be designed tall, white in the colour of ten gallons. Then the trends changed into small, low-level black hats.

Take good care of your hat:

There are few points to keep in mind before taking care of the cowboy hats individually. Some of them are as follows:

• Keeping the hat always facing the brim upwards and on a flat surface like a table or shelf. During the time period, the brim eventually wraps and the shape of the hat gets lose.
  
  
• While picking the cowboy hats it is better to hold them from the brim. Holding it from the crown part may change the shape or cause or cause a hollow surface on the crease.
  
  
• While adjusting the hat on the head one must make sure to take a firm grip from the front and back portions of the brim.
• The hats which are made up of wool or straw have the great capability to handle moisture. It is seen that it usually gets wet but does not damage the product. It should be dried normally with the air.
  
  
• No heat source should be kept near the hats. Due to that external heat, the hat may expand and get damaged.
