The Gambler Cowboy Hat, also known as the Telescope Crease, derived from Charros (Mexican Cowboys) who traveled from South America to Mexico and Nevada for work. The main difference between the two styles is that the Brick has a squarer crown and takes on more of a drop shape with its right and left curled brim, which looks like - you guessed it - a brick! Similar to the Cattleman, the Brick functions excellently in high winds and rain while also looking fantastic at more formal events. The Brick is very similar to the Cattleman. They’ve come to be called “reach and grab” because cowboys tended to reach for their hats and grab them by the front of the crown, thus leaving these indents on both sides of the crown with their fingers. The Tom Mix Crease (also called The Gus, in some areas) is a take on the Montana Crease with a more pronounced pinch on the front of the crown and a brim that has a half inch upturn. Considered the original cowboy movie superstar, he and John B Stetson are two of the most influential cowboy hat wearers to date. Tom Mix set the precedent for most hats during the 1920s and 30s. This creates the look that the hat slopes downward to a point and crests high on the back. The center dent is more pronounced and pinched on the front, but much more distinct on the back of the crown. However, the indentations on the sides of the crown are smaller and less pronounced than on the back of the crown. Like the Cattleman, it has three crown creases. This western hat type is very similar to the Cattleman with a few distinct differences. One of the more notable styles was the Montana Crease. In the Wild West, many regions had their own unique style of crease and cowboy hat. Because of this, this hat style is often worn during formal events and parties, or out on the town. Although functionally the Cattleman’s Hat is very useful during high winds or rains, since it can be pulled down further on the head so it isn’t blown off, it’s often considered the Gentleman’s choice of western hat. The crown is narrower (oftentimes between four and five inches tall), and has a single crease down the center and two creases along the side. It features a trio of top crown creases and a slightly curled brim. The Cattleman is the oldest and most traditional subgenre of cowboy hat.
