A stetson is a type of wide-brimmed hat that was originally designed for cowboys in the late 19th century. It is typically made of felt or straw and has a wide brim to protect the face and neck from the sun. The name "Stetson" refers to John B. Stetson, the American hat manufacturer who designed the hat in the late 1860s. Over time, the term "stetson" has also become a generic term for any wide-brimmed hat, although the original Stetson brand is still well-known for its high-quality hats.
