First let me say that this hat has a three inch brim. I don't consider it a cowboy hat because it isn't curved or quite as large as the traditional stetson. It's close however. If you want something more dressy or trendy then look for the hard "Indiana Jones Fedora" also listed on Amazon. Half an inch on the brim, as other reviewers have said, makes a huge difference in style. This is a casual hat meant to be worn with jeans or khakis and will keep the sun off your eyes and most of your neck.
