Should a cowboy hat fit snug?
Cowboy hats follow the natural shape of your head, so they should fit firmly on your forehead and the back of your head while feeling a bit looser at the sides. If the hat is too tight, you could wind up getting a headache. If it’s too loose, it’ll blow off or keep twisting around on your head.
How do you pick a cowboy hat for your face?

Should cowboy hats be stored upside down?
