I’m surprised super duty doesn’t have one of those $5000 Stetson cowboy hats.

Cowboy hats were just a different variation of what was commonly referred to a a western style hat. Most folks wore hats in the 1800’s-mid 1900’s.

They had a wider brim than alot of urban style hats ( think a fedora or Tom Landry style hat ) for increased protection against Sun and rain. A person in the cattle business did not have a monopoly on that style of hat.


Nowadays it’s common for a person who has a tie to a western or rural lifestyle to wear one regardless of the ownership of bovine or equine.

I wear one probability 3-5 days a week in the winter. I have owned cows in the past but none currently and really don’t care for horses since Henry Ford made his invention. I don’t rodeo an am not sponsored by Cinch.

It keeps my head warm and keeps the Sun off my ears and neck unlike a ball cap and I’ve had one on in a few blizzards and rainstorms

It’s interesting to note that a cowboy was a rather low paying/not very prestigious position historically. It’s not something that carried around a lot of weight in its time, more like a migrant worker would today.

The only thing better than a hat that fits right, is a pair of boots that fit right.

Well I’m not trying to pretend or pose. I grew up around cows and just got a few more recently to mess around with. I despise horses, always been afraid of them lol.

Just the opposite for me. Grew up with horses, few cattle. Hate cattle.

Incredibly stupid animals IMO. I'll stick with my horses.

The one horse I ever rode tried to bite me the whole time until the guide told me to jerk his [censored] round and show him who was boss. Lol

The cows are tasty so I don't hate them and I'm stupid too so I don't hold that against them...horses are cool as long as they're in somebody else's yard to me...

I wonder what Matt Dillion wears.

There is something about riding on a prancing horse that makes you feel like something, even when you aint worth a thing. - Will Rogers

When you’re young and you fall off a horse, you may break something. When you’re my age, you splatter. – Roy Rogers

I met a real cowboy on a horse only once. He was on a Colorado mountain moving the cattle from high ground to low ground due to a pending snow. Their ranch backed up the San Juan NF where I was elk hunting. He was wearing hunting boots and a tiger stripe boonie hat. After talking about elk for a bit, I asked him why he wasn't wearing cowboy boots and a cowboy hat and he said anyone that does isn't a real cowboy. He had a bedroll and other supplies on his mule and said he would be sleeping in the woods for about 5 days. After that, I laugh a bit to myself when I see someone all decked out with smooth soled uninsulated cowboy boots and a hat that will blow off a hundred times a day in a good wind.

I think next THF GTG, needs to be at someone’s ranch, and we need to see who the real root’n toot’n cowboys are on this forum. This will include shooting beer/whiskey bottles drawing 6 shooter from a holster, and roping cattle from a horse…
