Cowgirl Hats for Every Season

Straw is the right choice for spring and summer. It's lighter, breathes better, and shields you from the scorching summer sun. Felt suits cooler weather and dressier occasions. It holds its shape and offers more protection against wind and rain. Many riders keep one of each and switch with the seasons. For a hat built to last, the South Texas Tack pure beaver felt styles are the most durable in the range, holding their shape for years with proper care.

Open Crown or Precreased

An open crown hat arrives unshaped which lets you crease it to your own preference at a hat shop or shape it by hand over time. A precreased hat arrives shaped with a standard western crease ready to wear straight out of the box. Choosing between the two comes down to whether you want a hat shaped to your own taste or one that's ready to go.

Finding the Right Fit

A cowgirl hat should sit level and snug around the widest part of the head without pinching. A lighter brim tends to suit a smaller frame, though the hats themselves are unisex and sized to fit. Measure around your head just above the ears and check the size chart on each product page before ordering.
