Etymology

The word 'Stetson' refers to a brand of hats founded by John B. Stetson in 1865, who originally designed them for the demands of the American frontier. John B. Stetson grew up in New Jersey and traveled to the West in search of gold, where he developed a need for a durable hat that provided protection from the elements. His designs became widely popular among cowboys and cattle ranchers, leading to the widespread association of the Stetson hat with cowboy culture. The Stetson brand expanded in the following years, introducing various styles and materials, cementing its place in American fashion and history.
