Think of Westerns and the lone cowboy on the horizon, meager with his words, sitting astride his trusty steed, a low-slung holster and a straw cowboy hat on his head comes to mind. This is the look that people strive for when they pick up a straw cowboy hat. A complement to any outfit and a favorite with celebrities, the natural color of straw suits most outfits and for those more adventurous, straw hats come in a myriad shades including red, green and yellow. The straw cowboy hat is versatile and can be worn with jeans, summer dresses or beachwear. What’s more, it can be dyed just the right shade to match whatever you’re wearing. You’ll feel at home in any venue with a straw cowboy hat — a folk dance festival, a theme party or just to hang out with friends on the back porch.
Straw hats and rain don’t mix. So leave your straw Stetson home when storm clouds are brewing. They are quite easy to keep clean. A bristle brush and a hat sponge is all you need to keep the straw-hat dust free. A quick whisk right round the hat and it’s as good as new.
Straw cowboy hats are available in most noted brands – Resistol, Stetson, Bailey, Shady Brady and Wrangler. You can measure your hat size with a ribbon round your head. Your hat store will check the hat size for you. Some brands come with a comfort stretch sweatband so that one size fits all. The brim has a wire passing through it, which allows it to be shaped any way you want it. With the brim rolled tightly, you get an entirely new look. Or you can wear it wide to keep out the sun. Ideal for summer, the straw cowboy hat keeps the head well ventilated and the wearer cool to deal with any challenge.
