A brand of wide-brimmed cowboy hat, especially the iconic high-crowned style popular in the American West.
Named after John Batterson Stetson who designed and manufactured these hats starting in 1865. The brand became so iconic it's often used generically for any cowboy hat.
Stetson hats became essential equipment for cowboys because the wide brim protected from sun and could hold water to drink or for horses—so it was serious functional gear, not just fashion!
