River Junction Trade Co. Hickok Hat – Inspired by the Legendary Wild Bill Hickok
Some hats are made to keep the sun off your face. Others are made to tell a story.
The River Junction Trade Co. Hickok Hat was inspired by the distinctive style worn by Wild Bill Hickok, one of the most famous figures of the American frontier. Known as a lawman, scout, gambler, and gunfighter, Hickok cut a memorable figure across the western plains, and his unique hat became part of the legend that survives more than a century later.
Hand styled exclusively at River Junction Trade Co., this hat captures the bold look seen in period photographs and frontier artwork. With its 4½-inch telescope crown and sweeping 5-inch flat-bound brim, it possesses the unmistakable profile that helped define Hickok's frontier image. The traditional pencil roll, often called a kettle curl, provides the brim with a finished appearance that is both rugged and refined.
In the days of cattle drives, stagecoach travel, and frontier towns, a man's hat was often his signature. It protected him from the elements, reflected his personal style, and sometimes became as recognizable as the man himself. Wild Bill Hickok's hat was one of those rare pieces of frontier clothing that became part of American history.
Whether you're participating in a living history event, cowboy action shoot, Old West re-enactment, theatrical production, or simply appreciate authentic western style, this hat brings a genuine piece of frontier character to your wardrobe.
