The Rodeo King brand has been handcrafting high-quality hats right here in the USA since 1921 and this Rodeo Hat is a great example of their craftsmanship. The X’s are used to represent the quality of the hat , so you know this 7X beaver quality felt hat is up there with the best.
BRAND Triplett wears American Hats or Resistols, which he says are popular with bull riders . “I have to go with the cowboy look.” BRIM Bull riders opt for curved. CROWN The segment above the brim comes in various heights and shapes, creased or uncreased.
Some cowboy hats have been called “ten-gallon” hats . The term came into use about 1925. There are multiple theories for how the concept arose. One theory is that the term “ten-gallon” is a corruption of the Spanish modifier tan galán, which loosely translates as ” really handsome” or “so fine”.
A hat tip is an act of tipping or (especially in British English) doffing one’s hat as a cultural expression of recognition, respect, gratitude, or simple salutation and acknowledgement between two persons.
Again the price depends on the quality behind the wool being used in the hat . Your fur blend hats will typically start around $120 and can reach as high as a couple thousand dollars. The more pure the fur the higher the cost. You’ll know that it’s a nice hat when you touch the brim on these, they just feel expensive .
The right cowboy hat for your face if you have a more oval or wide head is one with a medium brim. Cowboy hats with a smaller brim will make your face appear larger. Choose cowboy hats with a medium brim for a more flattering appearance.
Over time, the cowboy hat underwent changes in shape to better suit the needs of its owner and evolved into the form we are more familiar with today. The brim curved up on the sides to stay out of the way of a rope, and the crown became pinched to allow better control.
There are few “true” cowboys in modern times, so western wear is more of a style. Consequently, no , I do not think wearing a cowboy hat by anyone who doesn’t wrangle cattle is disingenuous. However, in my opinion, one must “fit” the style or risk being considered a silly poser.

Take your cowboy hat off when you’re indoors . Elevators, lobbies, and building corridors are an exception to this rule, but once you’re in a room with other folks you should remove your hat , especially if there’s a lady present.
Never steal another man’s horse.
Flicking your hat , specifically of the western variety, can mean two things but it’s mostly less respectful lol. One flick could mean like, “ha! Told ya!” Similar to the way one might wink sarcastically. The other one is because the wearer is fed up.
