CULTURED COWBOY PRESENTS

Charlie 1 Horse
Western Felt Hats

Charlie 1 Horse hats are not for everyone, but if you see yourself as special, maybe this is your next hat! Fabulous trim embellishes a well made felt cowboy hat. (Or cowgirl hat, as the case may be.) Perfect for dancing, prancing, or back yard BBQ.
Cultured Cowboy has sold Charlie 1 Horse hats from the first time we saw them. That was the days of the  "Urban Cowboy" hackles and feathers!  Thanks to Gordon Moore for all he has done for the hat industry. (Gordon was a middle owner. Seems every time Charlie 1 horse has been sold, it has improved the brand. Look at these selections and you will understand exactly what Cultured Cowboy means by improving the brand!)  Thanks to Hatco, C1H parent company, the direction has developed into a brand known for it's feminine couture! )
Charlie 1 Horse x  Lainey Wilson  -   With enough effort, Might your brand, your name, be as influential as Lainey's?  Never give up!

A fur rating of 3x in a Charlie 1 Horse hat is much nicer than the same rating in other brands. Some of these guys will call a hat 100X that is poorer in quality than a 10X C1H hat. So, point is, if you like it & C1H makes it, you'll be happy. If your head is more round than oval, just let us know and we can adjust your hat for you. (See Hat Fitting Section below.)

Getting ready for Fall 2025.  More updates tomorrow! 

How to fit your size.  Charlie 1 Horse hats are available In Sizes:  6 3/4 - 7 5/8. Hat sizes kinda sort of go by ruler sizes, but the confusion comes in a size 6 1/2 is not 6 1/2 inches around. If you are not sure of your size, just take a soft ruler tape and measure around your head where you prefer it to fit. Most people will go around the biggest part of the back of their head, and be about 2 to 3 fingers (turned sideways) above their eyebrow.  We can convert these inch measurements to your hat size for you. You want to be able to pull your hat down in a windstorm, but wear it a little more loose in normal weather. Some people like to tilt it back a little when they relax. Then wear it more square when business need to be done! There is a hat fitting chart at the bottom of this page.

Also, have a friend look at the top of your head and see if it is shaped round like a ball, like an egg, square looking, or like a round oval race track. This helps us to steam and pre-fit your hat to better break your hat in. 

How About Hat Bands? When you see options of several colors in a hat style, you can expect the hatband, ribbons and such to complement the color shown.  But, cowboys have always carved their own uniqueness. Part of that is in customizing your hatband. If you need help, or want to see more selections, just call us or check out some of the hatbands on our website. 

How do I care for My Hat? Hats are as much fun to own as they are to buy. Most hats can be lightly washed with water, and a mild detergent if needed. Almost always, a hat stiffner should be applied after your cleaning. Click here to take a look at cleaners, stiffeners, hat racks, boxes, brushes and such. Because we have spent 30 years cleaning hats, just give us a chat to ask what you might need if you are not sure. You will be amazed how nice they look with a simple brim brushing. After every so many rainstorms, you may need to apply another light coat of hat stiffener. Always remember that like painting a car, you want to use a lot of light coats.

Felt hats are absorbent. They can soak up sweat and stains in the same fibers that wick the moisture away from your head. This wicking and evaporation is why hats seem to be comfortably cool in the hot sun. Often, your sweat will react with the dye in a leather sweatband (the inner band that rests on your head.) bleeding through into the wool, or fur of your hat. Once stained, you can clean the bacteria away but often, only cover the new coloration. You know, there are hats they make to look all sweat stained when you first get them. And can you believe they do charge extra for that!

Any other questions? Just write them down and shoot us an email. It's your questions that wind up as comments on the Cultured Cowboy site.

We stock a lot of hats, 1500 or so; most major brands. And there are sometimes a favorite hat or two you are trying to get again. Usually, when a style is changed, it is just to make room for something else, or just the hatband is changed. Be sure to call us (at the numbers below, bottom of page) and we can guide you through any selection process.  
What does "Available to order Now for Future Delivery" really mean?   Charlie 1 Horse hats are so special, that the hats are made as the factory gets orders.  There are too many for Cultured Cowboy to stock every hat in every brand we carry. However, we can place a future delivery of your hat for you.   Usually, 2 to 12 weeks to make a hat, depending upon the supply & demand
of the materials used.  Just after Covid 19, they were sometimes 2 years out!   We're real happy to get them for you much quicker. (Usually 1-4 weeks.)
Plan ahead if you can. If not, call us.  We might have something else in stock ready to go for you.    C1H hats are worth the wait.  And we do stock a lot of them at Cultured Cowboy too! 

This section includes several "long time" Charlie One Horse favorite styles. 

  Hat Fitting Chart :  If you have a soft ruler, or tailor's tape, just measure around your head where it feels comfortable. If not, use a string around your head, then measure the string.  
And just as important is head shape. In addition to size, Cultured Cowboy would ask, please, We prefer you send an email to cowboy@culturedcowboy.com with a picture of your face (shape of the brim to complement your jawline, or cheeks, or other fabulous unique facial beauty,) and the top of your head (shape can be long, extra long, round, kinda squared, and we can steam the hat to better fit you out of the box.) (Please wet hair if thick like an "Afro". Can't see head shape through all the "fur"!  If you have extra thick hair, measure around that too. Some hair fashions can have the head and hair measured as one, to have size large enough. Extensions and "Bob Marley" looks can add significant size. 

    Hat & hatband colors: Choose wisely.  OK here's a secret for all you guys buying for gals. Look at her eyes. A woman will never put something "ugly to her" on or around her eyes.  If her eye makeup is blue, she likes blue. If green, she likes green. If she barely wears makeup, she likes natural tones - tans & browns are good. If her mascara is dark, choose darker colors. Black for the Gothics.  Ditto her mouth. Light lip color, choose light pinks, baby blues, creams. If bloody red, choose brighter reds, deeper darks.  Have fun with this! It ain't that hard!
I get paid well fro this sort of consultation & coaching. - I am for hire!!!

Ladies:  If a gent is getting a little grey, choose dark colors to help mask that, or better, go with it and find a hatband with some hints of grey to make him look more distinguished. Red might be your fav, rad color; but don't put a red-headed guy in reds. Instead, choose southwest colors that enhance. (God didn't make all that red rock in nature without using more nature to beautify the entire picture. Ya'll do the same.  Dark complexion? Choose a brown tone that brings forth that beauty. God didn't "whitewash" all of us, just some of us Europeans.  And we try to get "sun-tanned"!   Use skin tones for all they are worth. At almost 70, I like a little grey, just a touch, in my hat to bring forth the maturity I worked so hard to have!

A hat is a great asset. It brings forth beauty, ruggedness, softness, exquisiteness, ...  But the greatest beauty is that smile on the face!  Laugh lines that uneducated people call age lines, are marks of a wonderful personality!   When you open that box from Cultured Cowboy, we want to open your hearts!  We thrive by making your dreams come true!
