Hats, Cowboy Type!

I am normally a preppy guy, but I am an artist and a Modern Agriculturist too! So, I dress for the day’s tasks or jobs. In the fall we move cows! There has been a lot of talk about hats, there is a long history of the cowboy hat and when and why it is worn. This is just me, but I feel like what is now known as the cowboy hat came about after the War of Northern Aggression, (Civil War). My great grandfather was VMI and an Officer Confederate Cavalryman. That cover changed how a working horseman looked but mostly was unnoticed until Hollywood noticed. The cowboy hat serves it’s purpose and does it well.
