The felt cowboy hat is an American design based on the old country felt hats and the spanish/Mexican palm leaf hats. It really kicked off with stetsons boss of the plains hat.
Stetson started to make hats of every kind but the cowboy hat made out of straw come from northern Mexico and it's basically identical to the sombrero de dos aguas that go back hundreds of years ago
People like you keep saying it comes from “Northern Mexico” but you’re leaving out the entire part where Northern Mexico is historically German/Dutch. The cowboy hat comes from the German/Dutch Tyrolean.
@@thevault5828 It is not German/Dutch, Northern Mexico was New Spain long before it was Mexico. The Germans and Dutch were not even that big of a migrant group compared to the Hispanic ls that inhabited those territories. And no the cowboy hat DOES NOT come from the Germans or the Dutch.
@@thevault5828 aside from what was already mentioned, it was the Spanish who were some of the first to start making felt hats. It makes sense when you consider that most Mexicans tend to have some degree of Spanish ancestry. Not to mention that a substantial amount of the cowboy culture that we know today developed in Mexico.
Though popularly considered American, the traditional cowboy began with the Spanish tradition, which evolved further in what today is Mexico and the Southwestern United States into the vaquero of northern Mexico and the charro of the Jalisco and Michoacán regions.
@Yareth Sekiro Ahh y en todo el mundo tuvieron poncho entonces ?? prenda que se origino de los pueblos indígenas de los andes. El poncho y el sombrero es algo distintivo hispanoamericano.
Germanic/Dutch migrants settled in Northern Mexico and they brought their farming culture with them just as they did here in the US as well... The German Tyrolean is where the cowboy hat evolved from. The US and Mexico both developed their own styles with independent German populations within both countries
German/Dutch culture. Mexican culture is a mixing of cultures from around the world. But the cowboy culture is specifically German/Dutch farming culture
Cowboys & pandora etc hats derived from Mallorca, Eapaña and it made it's way to Mexico when the New World was founded. Cowboys are the Mexicans whom are the originators. And of course, from Spanish ancestry. The rest is history! The more you know!
Your partially right. Most cowboys were of Mestizo descent however not pure Spanish decent because back then biemg cowboy was low class to low for a pure Spaniard to have but to high for an Mexican indian. So a Mexican Mestizo or mixed race person was perfect for the job and from there they devloped alot of the styles and stuff. Cowboy hats most likey eveolved from the Mexican sombrero the Vaqueros used. And no they weren't the peasnat sombreros that look like saucers they were very elegant.
@@emilianozapata5624 I am a spaniard. I dont care about the race: when Mexico was Nueva España they were spanish. all of them, from the navajo, to the indios pueblo, from the hopi, to the mestizos, from criollos to novohispanos. the mixed culture came from Spain, but was already a different thing in each terrytory...but at the same time a similar pattern. thats why if you go to Colombia, to Argentina or even Sicily and southern italy you will find similar patterns from the 1700s wich was the beginning of a real new State of continental dimensions. If history would have been different, I guess today most of latinoamerica would remain united. of course they would have kicked out Spain, as US and Canada did with UK. but they would be a main power and not a miriad of countries fighting against each other and dominated always by US.
Blah, Blah, Blah it all started with the Spanish hat which evolved into the Mexican one. The rest is history. The "Cowboy" hat is a facimile of the Mexican Vaquero hat.
Blah blah blah, it actually came from the Germans “Tyrolean” hat in the Alps of Europe... Germans settled in Northern Mexico and that’s where it came from. Germans also settled here in the US so we both developed our own styles of the Tyrolean over time...
@@thevault5828 Blah Blah Blah, The concept of a broad-brimmed hat with a high crown worn by a rider on horseback can be seen as far back as the Mongolian horsemen of the 13th century.
the beautiful thing about pointing out the origin in Spain and not Mexico (wich is an obvius thing anyone with a bit of knowled would guess) is to trace to the medieval times. before that, we have nothing. In Roman Empire there were no cowboys as we know them. But in medieval times, Muslims and Christians fought each other for centuries. The cattle and the big plains developed the culture basically as we know it. and then, horses, cowboys and ALSO the cows were brought to north, center and southamerica. the rest...is History. But is very nice to see how the cowboy kepts many nativeamerican traces in the mexican culture while in the US little by little was changed by the anglogermanic influence. Tha's the beauty of culture and history. To see the origins, but also the different paths.....cheers.
Yeah it's funny how many people don't know that this came from the crusades, specifically the Spanish "reconquista".....alot of peoples bias cherry pick and twist data......
nobody cries. its just despicable how the us "try" to hide the spanish origin of half of their culture and territories. Even they forget about the first spaniards who discover northern US. but we know. so, its more about decency and ignorance than about crybabies. sorry mate, LEARN.
@@randalthor1955 I’m Hispanic. Stop bitching. Vaqueros and cowboys are NOT the same. They both have their own unique culture and identity. And although the cowboy does has its roots in the vaquero, it’s like saying the mafia and the crips are the same thing. They both deal with drugs and are violent but are totally different. Same thing here. No one is denying its roots. But the cowboy is AMERICAN. Not Mexican, not Spanish. If it were the same, the vaquero would be known around the world today as there would be no distinction. But it isn’t. So stop bitching.
@@TheKnoxvicious your a pretty stupid grease ball, hit up you local college if you still can.... American Anglo learned the trade when they moved Texas. Viceroy of new Spain needed more people to capitalize on the huge cattle industry in the north. Todays Texas and the state of Chihuahua. Once Mexico became independent they taxed the shit out of cattle industry which was one reason why Texas became independent. American cowboy saddle design originates from arab saddle, because cattle round up comes from Spain and was invented during the crusades/ reconquista..... Modern American round up Techniques come from Mexico.... Chaps were invented in Spain. Americans use vocab like lasso, rodeo, Bonanza, which is ding, ding, ding, Spanish.... And lastly bull riding comes from Mexico as well, Jalisco to be exact.
Stop the Bull💩 this sombrero did NOT originate in the USA... You go to Mexico and in MOST places it is normal to wear one. Here in the USA only certain states they are worn. But if you see a Mexican person, most likely (high percentage) they will have one or own one. So STOP with the LIES 😂😂
@@braydicus 👎 WRONG!!! 🤣😹 👉Cordobes👈 is the traditional hat of Spain recognized throughout the world. It s another wide brimmed hat typically black. It can be made from a variety of materials, nevertheless a stiff felt is the most popular. Totally different headwear.
@@braydicus 🤣😹 What you talking about?? They're still the same in each country. Not much has changed. Each has their own style. Spain's sombreros style is flat from the top. Not many curves. Mexicos Sombreros are what cowboys have adopted. The only similarity is the name not the Style. (Totally different) Don't believe me, look it up
Obligatory note: most ‘cowboys’ didn’t wear ‘cowboy hats’, they wore things like bowlers, sombreros and even stovepipes. Radio is older than ‘cowboy hats’…

Not Mexican... German/Dutch. The Germans migrated to Northern Mexico (mainly chihuahua) and brought their farming culture with them.

Nah LoL they wear sombreros looser

The vaquero (cowboy) hat came from the spanish and Mexicans in the 1500 this video is bull shit
Yes the Tejana Hat was actually made by Mexican Artisans giving it a Palma in the middle. Distinct from the Old Style Spanish Hat.
And where's the fucking evolution and history?
What is that round hat called at 1:25 ?
The cowboy hat was first a practical piece of kit , like everything the cowboy wore or carried. This was a working hat.
Yall crybabies who cares if it originated in mexico. Its called a cowboy hat not an “american only” hat
And in Spanish cowboy is a vaquero so it’s just the culture of the whole region with includes the south western United States and northern Mexico
