Hats and Caps
The cowboy hat, an emblem of the American West, has long been more than just a piece of attire—it's a symbol of identity, resilience, and the enduring spirit of the pioneers and settlers who tamed the frontier. At The Toggery, we are proud to carry classic brands such as Resistol and Stetson, each with a storied history that is deeply interwoven with the fabric of Western lore. Stetson, founded by John B. Stetson in 1865, introduced the world to the "Boss of the Plains," a hat that would become the archetype for cowboy hats for generations. Crafted to withstand the harsh conditions of the West, Stetson hats were not only functional, protecting wearers from the sun, rain, and wind, but also became a status symbol among cowboys and settlers, embodying a blend of durability and elegance. Resistol, entering the scene in the 1920s, quickly became synonymous with quality and innovation, offering hats that were "resistant to all weather," as its name suggests. Known for their craftsmanship and the ability to retain shape and comfort over time, Resistol hats catered to the needs of the modern cowboy, ensuring protection and style went hand in hand.
Embracing the legacy of these iconic brands, The Toggery invites you to don a piece of history and carry forward the tradition of the American West. Whether you're drawn to the timeless elegance of a Stetson or the innovative durability of a Resistol, our collection offers a wide range of styles to suit any cowboy or aficionado of Western heritage. Each hat in our store is not just an accessory but a link to the past, a nod to the men and women who shaped the frontier with their bravery, determination, and pioneering spirit. Visit us and find your perfect cowboy hat, a tribute to the legacy of the West and an enduring symbol of Americana that stands the test of time.
