Interestingly, the hat of American cowboys was inherited from the Mongols (an ethnic group that inhabited the steppes of Central Asia), who, in the 12th century, created a very similar accessory to protect themselves from the sun's rays. This model began to be used by cowboys only in the following century. Previously, the Homburg (immortalized by The Godfather) was considered the most popular.
The cowboy hat has some striking characteristics that make it unique and unmistakable, such as the high crown, the creased crown, and three points (resulting from the many times the cowboy holds the accessory by the top to put it on and take it off). In addition, the models have various variations, with the most classic being felt based on fur, leather, or even straw. The most commonly used colors are beige, off-white, ivory, camel, brown, and the classic black shade.
The hat is a great accessory to give cowboys and cowgirls a unique style, furthermore, it beautifully characterizes the country and sertanejo vibe while providing protection from the sun, with comfort and practicality.
