Dress Like A Texan: Wear A Stetson Felt 6X High Point

The cowboy hat is an imperative aspect to a Texan's wardrobe, even if only worn on special occasions.  Every man should have a felt hat for the winter season and a straw hat for the fall.  Since it is winter, I suggest the Stetson Felt 6X High Point.

Here's some background and justification in the purchase: the cowboy hat is a high-crowned, wide-brimmed hat best known as the defining piece of attire for the North American Cowboy. The first western model was the open crowned "Boss of the plains," and after that came the front creased Carlsbad, destined to become “the” cowboy style. The high crowned, wide brimmed, soft felt western hats that followed are intimately associated with the cowboy image.

As the mystique of the "Wild West" was popularized by entertainers such as Buffalo Bill Cody and western movies, the Cowboy hat came to symbolize the American West. John Wayne christened them "the hat that won the West.^" 

The first American law-enforcement agency to adopt Stetson’s western hat as part of their uniform was the Texas Rangers.

Cowboy hats are not just for those that work on the ranch.  Below are presidents who wore hats.

Also, in the television show Dallas, wealthy Texas businessmen seamlessly wore hats.
