The brown leather-look cowboy hat is a western hat made of brown faux leather with a creased crown, curled brim and gold-coloured star badge. The round badge and slightly mottled, distressed finish evoke images of a sheriff or cowboy from the Wild West. Men and women wear it at western parties or for Carnival as part of a cowboy or cowgirl outfit.
What material is the cowboy hat made of?
The cowboy hat is made of leather-look material, a faux leather with the appearance of leather. It also has the following features:
- The material is dark brown leather-look with a slightly mottled, suede-like finish.
- The crown is creased in the middle and tapers slightly towards the front.
- The wide brim curls upwards on both sides, as is typical of a classic western hat.
- The hatband features a round, gold-coloured badge with a star in the centre.
- There is a small metal eyelet in the brim on one side.
- The hat is designed for both women and men.
The origins of the western hat
The western hat began as a working hat for cowboys, who used the wide brim to protect their faces and necks from sun and rain. In western films, it became the iconic symbol of the cowboy. A star on the band refers to the sheriff's star, the badge that identifies the lawman in such stories.
A distinctive sheriff or cowgirl look to complement the brown hat
The star badge on the band makes a sheriff outfit an obvious choice. Wear the hat with a vest, a checked shirt and jeans, and pin a star to your chest so that the badge on the hat has a matching counterpart. If you are dressing up as a cowgirl, a fringed blouse, denim skirt and boots will complement the dark brown. A bandana around your neck and a holster on your hip will instantly make the Wild West look instantly recognisable to everyone.
