Country Music and Cowboy Get-up

When the talk gets to cool country music, talk about cowboy get-up and those cool Kenny Chesney hats follow. Everybody wants to have that cool cowboy stuff from head to foot, and if they could get a horse, they would. Cowboy get-up includes those pointy cowboy boots, denim jeans, large belt buckles, and those western shirts with designs on the shoulders. This is topped off with a wide cowboy hat.

The cowboy look is no longer a costume, but is now more of a fashion statement as more people are taking to country music and dancing. The best time to show off their unbridled passion is none other but the long hot summers when they flock to depos that trigger Kenny Chesney hat buy and sell sprees.

The Hat’s the Thing and The Music, Another

The cowboy hat is part of the western cowboy lore and no well-meaning cowboy on and off a horse can’t do away with it. These hats come in different makes and design to suit different styles, egos, and purpose.    

Farmers, cattle ranchers, country singers, and the kibitzers have their favorite cowboy hats. Those on horseback want the wide-brimmed vaquero look, while the genteel farmers opt for the sombrero. The hat served many purposes - protection against sun and rain, fan against the heat, fan the campfire, and drive away flies and gnats.

White hats are given to dignitaries as a welcome or appreciative gesture. But today’s cowboys don’t have to wait for the Mayor to give them those cool and classical hats. Everybody can get their hats in varying shades of colors.  

Country music singers wear their hats with a rakish angle and everybody wants the same look albeit with a definitive addition to set them apart from the herd. They have the following styles and makes to choose from:

* Straw cowboy hats
* Felt hats
* Raffia hats
* Faux felt hats
* Canvas
* Leather

With these options, you can find the right cowboy hat within your budget, whether you’re getting one for yourself or for the whole family. Well, you can wear these hats for the entire summer and anytime you feel the cowboy spirit taking over once in a while.   

Smart Buys

Before you pick out a western hat, decide the type of cowboy hat you think goes best for your looks and style. Choose from the wide-brimmed cowboy hats, hats with rolled brims, or those gambler’s hats.

Although felt is considered the best headwear, for country music concert lovers, the straw hat will perfectly fit the bill. These are lighter on the head and can breathe. There are factors to consider before buying your western headgear - the shape of your face and your budget.  

To fit the shape of your face, is it long oval, regular oval, or round oval? For an oval face, select hats with brims swept up on the back or sides; for round faces, wear hats with asymmetrical brims; wide brimmed hats will perfectly suit long faces. Those with square faces must get those hats with rounded crowns or curved edges to soften their faces.

Budget is another constraint. Are you ready to part with $400 for a felt cowboy hat? Or, will that faux felt hat do for those country music festivals? You may want the look and feel of the Chesney hat, but the real thing can be prohibitive in cost.  

A look-alike is just as glamorous and serves the same purpose. Why deprive yourself of the fun if you can get these hats for less than $20? Another Chesney hat you shouldn’t miss is the Mexican Pinto Cattleman shaped just like the real Chesney hat. Stiffened to the right degree, you can wear the hat to the races rain or shine throughout the year.
