The Authentic Boss of the Plains Hat
Feel the American frontier with the hat that helped make John B. Stetson a legend. The Boss of the Plains was the original cowboy hat of the Old West—worn by ranchers, trail drivers, lawmen, scouts, and pioneers from Texas cattle trails to the western territories.
River Junction Trade Co. proudly offers one of the most authentic Boss of the Plains reproductions available today. A historically accurate Old West hat that features a traditional 4½-inch open crown and 3½-inch flat raw-edge brim, just like those produced by Stetson during the late 19th century. A classic satin hatband with bow completes the timeless look.
Unlike modern pre-shaped western hats, the original Boss of the Plains was sold open-crowned and uncreased, this simple, practical design became the foundation for nearly every cowboy hat style that followed.
Made for re-enactors, living historians, cowboy action shooters, and Western enthusiasts, this Hat captures the spirit of the Old West and the Cowboys that rode it, while offering the durability and craftsmanship expected from a premium hat.
Whether putting together an Old West wardrobe, portraying a Cowboy, or simply appreciating the heritage, the River Junction Boss of the Plains stands as a faithful tribute to one of history's most iconic Western hats.
