Considered the original cowboy movie superstar, he and John B Stetson are two of the most influential cowboy hat wearers to date. Tom Mix set the precedent for most hats during the 1920s and 30s. This creates the look that the hat slopes downward to a point and crests high on the back. The center dent is more pronounced and pinched on the front, but much more distinct on the back of the crown. However, the indentations on the sides of the crown are smaller and less pronounced than on the back of the crown. Like the Cattleman, it has three crown creases. This western hat type is very similar to the Cattleman with a few distinct differences. One of the more notable styles was the Montana Crease. In the Wild West, many regions had their own unique style of crease and cowboy hat. Because of this, this hat style is often worn during formal events and parties, or out on the town. Although functionally the Cattleman’s Hat is very useful during high winds or rains, since it can be pulled down further on the head so it isn’t blown off, it’s often considered the Gentleman’s choice of western hat. The crown is narrower (oftentimes between four and five inches tall), and has a single crease down the center and two creases along the side. It features a trio of top crown creases and a slightly curled brim. The Cattleman is the oldest and most traditional subgenre of cowboy hat. Cowboy Hat Creases That Have Become Their Own Subgenres The Cattleman Crease Below are a few of the more popular crown creases and brim rolls that have now become their own sub-styles of cowboy hats. To showcase individual character, they began customizing western hats by creasing the crown and rolling the brim in various ways (along with adding accessories, such as hat bands ). Even a floppy cowboy hat with a soft brim contrasts nicely with a boxy face shape.A Guide to the Modern Types of Cowboy Hats and CreasesĪlthough many cowboy and western hats started with a similar design, cowgirls and boys quickly began to change things up. Rounded cowboy hats, with curved brims help counter your strong jaw. If you have a square jawline, a wide forehead, and strong cheekbones then you want to wear hats that soften your harsher angles. Avoid floppy hats that can shorten and cast strange shadows on your angular features. Try a moderate to wide brim, with a shallow crown, so the hat can be worn further back on the head. If your face is widest at the cheekbones and angular, but you have a short forehead and narrow jaw, then you want to elongate those features. Avoid over-accentuating your face’s roundness with wide brims and rounded crowns. Asymmetrical shapes help counter your symmetrical face, and you can pump-up this effect by tilting your hat backwards, forwards, or to the side. A cowboy hat with a high crown and slanted brim will suit your face nicely.

Round Faceīalance your round face shape with sharp angles. Avoid short or flat brims that overemphasize the long lines of your face, and go with a curved, wide brim.

A medium crown height, that sits low on the forehead, will do just fine. If you have a face that is elongated and thin, wear a cowboy hat that’s not too short or tall, as both will exaggerate the length of your face.
