A real cowboy hat will come eventually.
Lost my old one and have not replaced it yet, went with the utility of the above instead.

i voted "no" on the cowboy hat. when i grew my beard for some santa pics, i also let my hair grow again, so now i have either a pony tail -or- i wear a boston scally cap that keeps the hair out of my face -or- both.
i've never worn a hat or cap regularly --- until last year. i've played corporate gigs with western themes and i wore the cowboy hats provided. maybe 2-3 of those.
but i also ticked "POLLS are my life," so there's that.
they are the only reason i'm still able to walk, i'm sure!

I'm addicted to my Skechers with Memory Foam.

For the cowboy hat owners, always remember that when your 10 gallon hat's feelin' 5 gallons flat, you need to grab a hunk of cheese. A slab or slice or chunk of cheese will do, too.
I don't own a cowboy hat, but when I saw the topic, the first thing that popped in my head were the words to this PSA from the '70's or 80's.

This is just solid advice all around.

I like wide brimed fedora better, but I have 2, ones a straw beater and the other is a Kenny Rogers that was a present. I wear really wide brimmed straw beach/fishing/ yard work hats more often, but never around town.
Yes. Everyone needs more straw hats.
Big wide ones.

I did as a kid. Long gone now, no idea what happened to it. My son was asking for one for Christmas and I went looking. The real ones are crazy expensive!
Yep, dress up as one of the Yellowstone characters for Halloween.

Check Ebay. Prices are quite variable. Buy only Stetson or Resistol felt. Straws are OK for summer.
NEVER EVER pick up a straw hat by the crown; you'll break the straw early. Handle only by the brim. (Same goes for felt handling hats - handle only by the brim.)

Lived in Texas most of my life but no cowboy hat. Really just a white suburban punk.
No. I live in Ohio. I don't want to draw attention to myself. A cowboy hat is not normal apparel where I live.
I do have a large woven straw hat that I wear in the yard and on walks to shield the sun from my face and neck. It's an Appalachian kind of a hat.

I don't have a cowboy hat but I DO own a genuine pair of Bavarian lederhosen, same thing, but for your legs.
Lots of Americans got them during the Urban Oompah craze.
