The most common types of cowboy hats are the Cattleman, Gus, Pinched Front, Montana/Tom Mix, Gambler, Brick, Amish, Derby, and Open Crown. These styles vary by crease, as well as brim. Each style is unique and makes for an iconic western look.

Pinch front crowns offer a traditional but sophisticated look, whereas the rounded top, open crown style gives a more modern look. Cowboy felt hats with rounded brick crowns are a good mix between the cattleman’s crown and pinch front crown. There are also different styles of bands and buckles, brims, material, and different colors to choose from.
