"J.B. Was the Man"
And now a little history of the Cowboy hat from Wikipedia:
"Cowboy hats go back to almost the inception of the cowboy himself. However, It is not clear when the cowboy's hat began to be named as such. Westerners originally had no standard headwear. People moving west wore many styles of hat, including top hats, derbies, remains of Civil War headgear, sailor hats and everything else.Contrary to popular belief, it was the bowler and not the cowboy hat that was the most popular in the American West, prompting Lucius Beebe to call it "the hat that won the West. The working cowboy wore wide-brimmed, high-crowned hats long before the invention of the modern design.However, credit for "invention" of the cowboy hat as it is known today is generally given to John Batterson Stetson.
The original "Boss of the plains," manufactured by Stetson in 1865, was flat-brimmed, had a straight sided crown, with rounded corners. These light-weight, waterproof hats, were natural in color, with four inch crowns and brims. A plain hatband was fitted to adjust head size. The sweatband bore Stetson’s name.While only making one style of hat, they came in different qualities ranging from one-grade material at five dollars apiece to pure beaver felt hats for thirty dollars each. J.B. Stetson was the first to market the "Boss of the plains," to Cowboys, where it has remained the universal image of the American West. The charisma of the West was carried back East when adventurers returned in the expensive “Boss of the plains,” style hat.

Disappointed
From the shop that sells the best and most authentic looking boots in SL I expected the same in their hats. I was very disappointed to find the textures dated and the entire hat shape itself is a let down. Stetson this is not.
waste of time
unless your head is a beach ball,can't resize.
This hat is great!
This is my second style of cowboy hat from Riders. I love them both. Great quality and detail. Realistic. Not cartoonish or over-exaggerated. Anyone who really wears cowboy hats will instantly recognize this authentic Stetson look and style. As always, the customer service of Riders World exceeds expectations, and the product is unparalleled. I definitely recommend this hat and all other Riders products. God knows I've bought plenty from this store and I've never been disappointed.
