STENSON HATS


Did you know??

The cowboy hat was first designed during the 1860's by a New Jersey man named John Batterson Stetson.
Stetson saw a market for a broad-brimmed hat for ranch wear. He opened a shop in Philadelphia and began designing hats under the Stetson name in 1865. By 1906 Stetson employed approximately 3,500 workers, producing over two million hats a year.
