Curiosities about the brand Stetson

For any fan of hats, Stetson is synonymous of quality, design and reliability when choosing and wearing a hat, a cap or any other garment made by the prestigious firm, which started the concept of a cowboy hat. 

The fame of this American hat brand is known worldwide. Its founder, John B. Stetson, started the story -which would later become almost a legend- in 1865, with the creation of a felt hat: the famous Boss of the Plains, a model that is still produced today; an all purpose and weather resistant wide-brimmed hat, perfectly adapted for use in the harsh conditions of the plains of the American West. 

Over time, Stetson used beaver hair, more waterproof. These new hats could collect up to ten gallons of liquid in the cup without dripping. Hence the famous model called 10 Gallons and the well-known image of the cowboy giving his horse to drink the water collected from the top of his hat, a recurring image in scenes from Western movies. 

Stetson was the brand adopted by both the military and police and notable American people to this day. In addition to hats, caps also have a history of quality, durability, and utility; some models, such as the Irish style, Newsboy or Hatteras are used by professionals of all kinds, famous actors and musicians, such as Brian Johnson of AC/DC.
