Riassunto

David Stoecklein's latest volume in the "Cowboy Gear" series showcases all the different types of Western cowboy hats. For working cowboys and cowgirls, a hat is first and foremost an essential tool for the jobs they do, but it can also be a personal statement of style. These photographs pay a lasting tribute to this vital piece of gear.

Su questo libro

L'autore:

David R. Stoecklein has worked closely with ranchers and cowboys from every Western state. Through his work, he has gained a deep understanding of and respect for cowboys. His quest to keep the spirit of the West alive is heartfelt and uncompromising. David spends every free moment photographing cowboys and all elements of their lives, preserving their heritage and traditions. David resides in Sun Valley with his wife, Mary, and their three sons.

Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:

A true cowboy never goes out in public without his trusty hat. The cowboy hat has practical uses of course-as a shield from the outdoor elements-but it also allows a cowboy or cowgirl to express a sense of personal style. Today's cowboy hat has remained basically unchanged in construction and design since the first one was created in 1865. Yet they all differ slightly from region to region and era to era. This book celebrates a true iconic symbol of the American West. As the old cowboy saying goes, "It's the last thing you take off and the first thing that is noticed."
