Cowboy Hats Materials

Cowboy hats can also be made from felt, a fabric made of animal fibers. Felt is an extremely strong, smooth and light fabric and makes a very durable cowboy hat. The resiliency and water resistance of felt make it a desirable choice for a cowboy hat. Felt cowboy hats, like straw cowboy hats, can be worn year round, but are an especially popular choice in the cooler months.

A fur felt cowboy hat will be made from a blend of various animal furs, such as rabbit, muskrat, mink or beaver. The seasoned cowboy hat wearer will insist on a fur felt cowboy hat. Wool felt can also be used to make cowboy hats. A cowboy hat made from wool felt will be heavier than a fur felt cowboy hat, and will not be quite as smooth. Wool felt cowboy hats offer the consumer a good quality cowboy hat at a competitive price.
