Veteran Posts: 262	I'm looking to buy a half way decent cowgirl hat this year. Any recommendations from fellow Barrel racers? What are the best brands and places to buy? And most economical too! I'm probably not going to spend $200-$300 on a hat this year.

Member Posts: 10	Considering my husband probably has more cowboy hats than a woman has shoes, I feel like we've been through the trial and errors. I believe you get what you pay for when it comes to hats. I'd be a name brand snop (especially when it comes to felts). The best hats has been American and Resistol. Bailey & Rodeo King are good too. The higher number x it is, is obviously higher quality. You can find good quality straws for cheaper than felts.

Regular Posts: 66	I have 4 Charlie One Horse hats I'd sell ya! My daughter kept losing them when she ran and I was sick of paying the hat fines. She bought an American straw hat and has never lost it. She said its more comfortable then the Charlie One Horse.

Not to steal the thread. If the OP isn't interested, I might be! What size? My daughter is a state/regional level rodeo queen and always looking. She wears a 7 1/4 tho - big head! We like the American Hat Company A LOT. The gentleman that orders for us has them custom made in a long oval and tweaked just for her. LOVE them.

I am not crazy with how they fit either.

Different brands fit differently. I can't wear Charlie 1's even as a fashion hat, the crown is just too short for my head they look perched up there and someone breathes too close and it falls off. I'm really wanting to have an American shaped for me - I was planning to do it at jr high finals next year then I found out they aren't coming back to Des Moines. Urg....

Elite Veteran Posts: 883 Location: Southern Indiana	Rods has the best selection of hats, especially if you have a small head like me! Greenly hat works makes their store brand ones for them! They are great hats! Here's a tip: join their email, they have sales quite often and you can get up to 20% sometimes!

You have to Google "cowboy hat" or MAYBE "western hat".

Elite Veteran Posts: 1079 Location: MN	My favorite straw hat by far is my Bailey. I have a Stetson for a felt but it gives me a headache and I absolutely hated my Charlie 1 Horse felt. Very pretty but I hate that I spent $200 on a hat that is just sitting around now collecting dust. (hat.PNG) Attachments ---------------- hat.PNG (79KB - 168 downloads)

Veteran Posts: 262	I ended up going to TSC and buying a black felt Justin hat. It was only $50 and it fit my head good. Someday I'd like to get a real nice quality hat but this one looks pretty good and I was able to try it on in person. Thanks for all the advice!
