Nothing symbolizes the dream of the American West, from its rugged, dramatic landscapes to its cowboy culture, like Stetson. It was founded in 1865 by John B. Stetson, an explorer and adventurer who, during a long Western expedition, fashioned a hat with a high crown and a wide flat brim that could withstand the elements. It worked so well that he decided to mass-produce it. Renowned for its handmade, high-quality hats, Stetson soon came to represent quintessential American values: innovation, resilience, and trailblazing independence.
This book celebrates the profound impact and influence of Stetson, and the cowboy aesthetic, on American culture. In sections including “Stetson in Song” and “Stetson on Screen,” stunning photographs show a diverse range of musicians who lay claim to the Stetson as part of their image, from Gene Autry and Loretta Lynn to Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson to Beyoncé—and a who’s who of American movie stars from Robert Redford and Clint Eastwood to Jane Fonda.

"I have always shopped online with City Supply, but today I finally made it to NWA for an in-store visit. WOW! It is such a cool store. They did a fantastic job with the design/ decor. I spent several minutes looking up at all of the displays… lots of vintage razorback, and camping gear. Super cool. I found several gifts for my sweet husband, including… a really cool sec fish shirt, trout hat, and an Arkansas cutting board. The CS website is nicely done, but the store… you must see the store! I am so glad I stopped in. The associates had great customer service, and rounded out my purchase with some neat razorback pins. Worth the drive from LR!"– KATIE PAZDERA
