Cowboys to Catwalks

Cowboy hat from Lammle's

The crease of a cowboy hat used to indicate where you lived, and if you were a rancher, wrangler or rodeo rider. But today’s hats are more fashion statement than practical wear. Cattleman hats with big middle crease and side dents are the most popular. Real cowboys sport wool or rabbit felt hats ($100+). The rest of us don straw ($20-$100) for mountain horseback rides and the Calgary Stampede. Lammle’s and The Trail Rider have hats for all.—RM
