This Turner Hat Company black wool cowboy hat delivers true Western character without feeling theatrical.
This classic black Stetson was made in the 1990s, inspired by the Garth Brooks song Thunder Rolls. Made from durable 4X beaver felt, it features a traditional cattleman’s crease and a crisp, structured brim that holds its shape beautifully.
The turquoise woven hatband adds just enough color to set it apart—subtle, Western, and unmistakably Stetson. Inside, a smooth silk lining and leather sweatband keep things comfortable and polished, whether you’re wearing it out or adding it to a serious hat collection.
Details like the triple-vent eyelets and the quality felt finish speak to Stetson’s long-standing reputation for craftsmanship and wearability.

ABOUT COWBOY HATS
What is a Cowboy Hat
A Western (cowboy) hat is a structured hat originally developed in the 19th century for practical outdoor work, offering protection from sun, wind, and weather. While the wide brim and high crown served functional purposes, the crease of the crown quickly became a way to personalize both fit and style. Over time, different crown creases emerged across regions and eras, giving Western hats their varied silhouettes and distinct character. Crown shaping remains one of the most recognizable and defining elements of Western and cowboy hat design.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HAT SIZE
HOW TO FIND YOUR HAT SIZE
- Pull a fabric tape measure or length of string around your head just slightly above the ear, across the mid-forehead, completely circling your head.
- Hold the tape firmly, but not too tightly. You are measuring your head exactly where the hat will sit in either inches or centimeters.
- If your measurement falls between sizes, choose the next largest size.
- Then buy a fabulous vintage hat from Madge

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR VINTAGE HAT
Vintage Hat Care
Always handle vintage hats by the brim, not the crown. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep them in a hatbox or covered with acid-free tissue to prevent dust. Avoid using modern sprays or steam, as these can damage delicate materials and trims. For reshaping or cleaning, it’s best to consult a professional milliner experienced in vintage restoration.
