The Cattleman: America's Hat

Three creases in the crown and a hundred years on the range. The story of the most-worn cowboy hat ever folded.

The Cattleman: America's Hat

If you close your eyes and picture a cowboy hat, you are almost certainly picturing a Cattleman. Three creases — one center dent, two side dents — and a gently rolled brim. It is the shape that became shorthand for the entire American West.

Born on the Range

The Cattleman earned its name honestly: it was the working hat of cattle ranchers. The center crease sheds rain. The rolled brim stays out of the way of a rope and frames the eyes against the sun. Form followed work, and the work was hard.

Why It Endured

Versatility. The Cattleman moves effortlessly from a dusty corral to a town dance. It flatters nearly every face. It looks right in felt and in straw. No other crease does so many jobs so well.

Make It Yours

The Cattleman is the natural starting point for a first custom hat. Begin there, choose your material and band, and you have a hat that honors a century of heritage — built new, for you.
