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 entirely by hand. This results in a hat that is truly one of a kind, with its own unique color and shape. (Note: As a result of this time-honored process, your hat may vary significantly in color from the version 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 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 both handcrafted and hand-dyed. That means no two hats have the same hue, 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.”
