Getting in the Know About Leather Cowboy Hats

If you have leather cow boy hats you would agree with me that it is extremely difficult when it comes to cleaning them. An air compressor or a vacuum cleaner can take care of the dirt by blowing it away, but what about stains? Stains can be taken care of by stain repellents or hat cleaning sponge. And even for the dirt it is recommended that you use a soft hat brush. Makes the job a lot easier! John B. Stretson, designer and marketer of the first leather cow boy hats in USA, had christened his first creation, “Boss of the plains”. In old days they could tell where a cowboy heralded from by simply observing the crease of his hat. Leather cow boy hats are put to a variety of uses. Some of them are: • The spacious and outstretched brim. It plays a critical part in shading the cowboy’s head from scorching heat. • Used as a signaling tool. Waving it from a distance in all types of manner can convey a lot many messages especially in cases where verbal communication fails due to long distances. • Leather cow boy hats were also great at fanning a fire. Now who needs a fire extinguisher when there is such a stylish way of putting out fire? • They also served as buckets to pull out water to quench their thirst. Mainly worn for their aesthetic value today, these headgears come in a variety of colors, more so if we include the women’s range of cow boy hats. Available in hues of black, brown and grey they are also given funny names on the basis of their color. For example a certain light grey known as The Silver Belly has been attracting a lot of popularity lately. The phrase Ten Gallon generally refers to a particular measurement of the quantity of water; but I assure you it is nothing of the sort. And it is certainly not a hat container. Actually it is kind of a linguistic confusion. ‘Tan galan’ is a Spanish phrase. The closest to a literal translation is ’so gallant’ and it was used as a sobriquet for the young aristocratic brood of ‘leading’ upper class men who wore such hats. Its strange how they were simply not called sombrero. The Stretson leather cowboy hats probably had some very simple designs. That is why the brand has survived through the ages and come down the lines of fashion evolution. As a result today all simple cowboy hats are known as a Stretson irrespective of their designs. The first of the Stretson hat was sold in Central City of the Colorado County. That was in the year 1865. Today a flat brimmed Stretson hat has even been incorporated in the dress uniform of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Red Serge as a mark of respecting the man who revolutionized American styling. So much for designing leather cow boy hats! And they say fashion designing is a waste of time!
