Description
Created in the 1860s by our founder John B. Stetson on a trip out West seeking open skies and new frontiers, The Boss of the Plains is the hat that started it all. In keeping with its unparalleled heritage, each Boss of the Plains is made the old-fashioned way, dyed and shaped and distressed entirely by hand. This results in a hat that is truly one of a kind, with its own unique color, shape and level of distressing. (Note: As a result of this time-honored process, your hat may vary significantly in color from the versions shown at left.)
Each Boss of the Plains is crafted from high-quality 6X fur felt for a lifetime of wear, with a signature leather hat band, interior leather sweatband, and satin lining. With its unmistakable profile and signature distressed patina, the Boss of the Plains may be our most iconic hat—the ultimate marriage of form and function.
- NOTE: The Boss of The Plains is handcrafted, hand-dyed and hand-distressed. That means no two hats have the same color or character, making each hat truly one of a kind. It’s then finished with a leather hat band, unique to each hat. Pictured above: the spectrum of colors that may be included when ordering “Assorted Brown.”

Size Guide
How to determine your hat size
Option 1: The Measuring Tape Method
Start with a measuring tape (or a piece of string you can measure later), and wrap it around your head, placing it where your hat will sit — typically, at the middle of your forehead and about 1/8″ above your ear. Hold the tape firmly, but not uncomfortably tight. Find your size using the chart below. If your measurement falls between sizes, order a size up; you can always add a bit of padding in the sweatband to achieve the perfect fit.
Option 2: The Snapback Trick
A slightly less accurate, but convenient alternative is to grab a snapback hat, and map your most comfortable fit to the chart. As with the above technique, if your measurement falls between sizes, order a size up. You can always add a bit of padding in the sweatband to achieve the perfect fit.
