Tip your cap to the array of Western hats on eBay

One of America's most iconic exports, at least in terms of pop culture, has to be the cowboy movie. From the birth of silent film to the genre's heyday in the 1950s, Western movies galore were produced in Hollywood. So many of the great movie stars became famous playing cowboys and gunslingers: John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Gary Cooper, Sam Elliot, Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas - the list goes on and on through the decades. Thanks to all those Western movies, we have a picture of American life on the frontier, a picture in which the Western hat features strongly. If you want to put on a bit of Texan swagger or dress up as a cowboy or sheriff, a Western hat is pretty much a necessity.

Stetson hats

Known as one of the best Western hat makers in the world, Stetson has been manufacturing hats for generations of Americans. You can find a heap of Stetson hats in all sorts of Western styles, and in all sorts of materials, too. Many have the classic dented crown and turned up sides that movies made so famous. And while a wool felt or leather hat is great for winter wear, in summer it can get a little stifling. Maybe opt for straw and seagrass Stetsons in the same styles, but lightweight and perfect for the summer months.

Akubra

While we mostly think of Akubra as producing classic Aussie outback hat styles, the brand also offers a lot of cowboy hats. Inspired by American Westerns and designed for Australian conditions, these are great hats for Aussie men everywhere, and they also make great gifts for friends overseas. Their special blend of rabbit fur and wool fibres, felted together, creates a tough and durable hat that can stand up to almost any treatment.
