The Scout Hat
The Scout is a historically accurate Old West cowboy hat based on one of the most popular Western hat styles of the late 19th century. Commonly referred to in period catalogs as a "Cowboy Sombrero," this style was worn by working cowboys, ranchers, scouts, stockmen, and trail riders throughout the American frontier.
Made from premium 10X fur felt, the Scout features a traditional 4½-inch crown and a 4-inch flat, stiff knife-blade brim with bound edge. This open crown hat provided excellent protection from sun and weather while creating a distinctive style commonly thought of with the cattle-drive era and the open ranges of the Old West.
With historical authenticity in mind, the Scout reflects the style of hats commonly worn from the 1870s through the 1890s. Its rugged construction, clean lines, and durable fur felt body make it equally at home on the range, at a reenactment, or in a modern Western wardrobe.
