TRUTH !!
It was the Derby/bowler, not the cowboy hat or sombrero, that was the most
popular hat in the American West. It was so common in fact that Lucius Beebe
to call it “the hat that won the West”. When you see old west photos of
town’s people, shop keepers, bar tenders and the like, almost all of them
wore derbies. Many cowboys purchased derby’s when they came to town because
they were easily available and the hat would not blow off easily in strong
wind. It did not provide the same level of protection from wind or rain,
and definitely did not protect you from the sun – which led many cowboys to
transition to Stetson “Boss of the plains” style hat when they had the
money. Bowlers/derby were worn by both lawmen and outlaws, including Bat
Masterson, Butch Cassidy, Black Bart, and Billy the Kid.
