How Do You Purchase A Cowboy Hat?
Do you long for the days of the Old West? Well, even if you can’t ride, rope a steer, or ride the bucking bull, all is not lost. Buy a cowboy hat. Step 1 Decide what type of cowboy hat you want. There’s a wide variety of styles: wide brimmed cowboy hats, straw cowboy hats, gambler’s hats, flocked cowboy hats, straw cowboy hats with rolled brims, and more. Step 2 Measure your head for the proper size. Use a soft tape measure. Measure around your hair 1/2-inch above your eyebrows and just above your ears. You may need to have someone else do this for you. Step 3 Determine your head shape, which is, according to The Last Best West, either “Long Oval, Round Oval, or Regular Oval.” Step 4 Choose where you wish to shop, such as a hat store. Step 5 Buy used hats through the classifieds or online. Step 6 Go to online retailers like Annie’s Costumes, or for the real deal, the Western Shop. Step 7 Stand out from the crowd, and have your hat custom-made by The Last Best West.
