The Martijn cowboy hat is available in several colours and is a western hat with a high, creased crown, curled side edges and a twisted black-and-white band around the crown. Men and women wear it to a western party or a farm party when it should be immediately obvious that they are coming as a cowboy or cowgirl. You can choose from black, brown, red and white.
How are the brim and band of the Martijn hat finished?
The Martijn hat has a twisted black-and-white band that is fastened at the side with a button, and the finish of the brim varies depending on the version.
- You can choose from four versions: black, brown, red and white.
- The black and brown hats have a black trim along the brim, while the red and white hats have trim in the same shade as the hat.
- The twisted black-and-white band runs around the crown and ends at the side in a small button.
- The crown is high and has a crease on top, with two pinched sides at the front.
- The side edges curl upwards, giving the hat its distinctive western silhouette.
- You will receive only the hat, without any other costume parts.
If you want the outline of the brim to stand out, choose black or brown: the black trim sharply defines the edge. The red and white versions look more uniform due to the trim in the same shade, which makes the colour of the hat itself stand out.
The wide brim and creased crown of a western hat
You can recognise a western hat by its wide brim with curled-up sides and its high crown with a crease in it. This shape originated with the cattle ranchers of the American West, for whom a wide brim provided shade during long days outdoors. Through western films, this exact silhouette has become the iconic look of the cowboy. A band around the crown is part of that image, and on the Martijn, this is the black-and-white band.
Making your cowboy look recognisable
A recognisable cowboy or cowgirl look starts with the hat and is completed with a checked shirt, jeans and boots. A bandana around the neck and a holster with a toy revolver make the look immediately clear to everyone. For a farm party, brown pairs well with a checked shirt and overalls, while red or white works particularly well if you are coming as a group in the same shade.
