Cowboy Hats and More

Q: What’s a good price for a cowboy hat?

A: What quality level do you want?

Cowboy hats are available in a wide range of prices. As with many items, the quality of the hat generally determines the price. Cowboy hat prices can range from $20 - $4,000. There really is an affordable cowboy hat for everyone!

The material used for hat making often drives the price of the hat. Do you want straw, raffia, wool or the traditional felt?  People usually think of the traditional felt (the fur of animals such as beaver, rabbit etc) cowboy hat first.  The proportion of  beaver fur vs. the rabbit fur in the felt, determines the cost of the felt. The “X” inside the crown of  the hat indicates the quality of the fur that went into it. The greater the “X” the greater the quality (10X hats are of greater quality than 5X hats).  The cost of a standard felt hat can range from $70-$700. The 100% beaver fur hat price starts from $850. The recent rise in the cost of felt cowboy hats is due to scarcity of quality fur.

Cowboy hats feature variations in the crown shapes and brim sizes, which can be reflected in the prices. You can buy a standard hat off-the-shelf or you can design your own custom hat. The choice is yours. Designing your own custom cowboy hat is more affordable than you think. Branded cowboy hats usually maintain high quality. Beaver Brands allows you to combine high quality, custom design and affordability.

Economic cowboy hats are available in material such as straw, raffia, palm leaf etc. While most straw hats are cheaper, designer straw hats worth hundreds of dollars are also available.

Building your own cowboy or Western, fedora, or Outback (Aussie) hat is a special treat for someone who wears a hat often.  Cowboy Hats and More allows you to choose your style and color, give your head measurements, and choose the brim style, crown height, or fabric finish of the hat if applicable.  The inner hat band can also be personalized free of charge if you prefer.

A custom cowboy hat is the perfect way to get a hat that really fits you and suits your style and your needs.  Whether it is a dress hat you need or an everyday hat, Cowboy Hats and More can provide the perfect accent to your ensemble.

You’ve got a great cowboy hat that fits you just right & you want to keep it looking and wearing its best for years to come. To do that you need to take care of it. Here are some simple steps will keep your favorite cowboy hat looking good for many years.

1. Collect good luck in your hat. Never set it down on its brim (it could flatten its shape). Always set it down on top of its crown.
2. Store it in a clean dry area. A hat rack or in its original hat box are the best places.
3. Keep your hat away from very very hot and humid locations (like the inside of your truck in July). The heat may shrink the sweatband.
4. If your hat gets wet, always let it dry with the sweatband up to let the moisture evaporate rather than soak in. Air drying is best– never use heat to speed up the process.
