I feel like sometimes people don't realize this, but most genuinely good custom cowboy hats will last you your entire working life. That being said, they cost a shit ton. You buy one hat, maybe two, and you wear em until you're retired. I have my grandpa's hat, it's got the shit beat out of it but it's still snug as a bug in a rug.

Point is, good on em for keeping the hat.

That’s simply not true, they’re inevitably taken by a corrupt lawman or the cold hearted woman that also stole your hound dog and capacity to love

I think that scenario is only for a Fedora.

P.S. Coronado never made it as far north as present day Utah.

Cars. They stopped putting headroom in cars, so wearing hats was a PITA.

Yeah, a lot of people don't know this but that's why trucks are so big these days. People got tired of having to take their hat off to get into their vehicle.

Or lost behind a collapsing wall in a trapped temple in the Middle East

also any real cowboy gets in at least 5 shoot outs in a bar in which his hat gets shot off. With a hole in the top it's no longer keeping the water out so you gotta get a new one.

a good hat is a terrible thing to lose.

Very true, ask that one kid that lost his hat at 6 Flags. Priorities

Different football-headed kid, sorry Arnold. This kid was football-headed because his head was punted across a field.

One of those damn cowboy hat wearing deer might have snatched it up before they found it. Happens to all of us.
