Since 1865, STETSON has come to symbolize the wide, open expanses of the North American West.
The STETSON hat soon became a must for cowboys and ranchers and is still a status symbol even today. Practical, protective, and synonymous with the West, the Stetson is a truly American hat, combining function and style with a dashing air. A Stetson is made for the outdoor life and needs the prairie wind to give it patina and a ‘battered’ look.
Modern production of Stetsons is sill based on the ancient principles of felting and hat making.
