You know a cowboy hat is more than just a hat – it offers style and protection from the elements, featuring an iconic look. Two well-known brands of cowboy hats – Stetson and Resistol – also have quite a history behind them.
According to the Stetson website, in 1865, John B. Stetson created the John B. Stetson Hat Company by spending $100 to rent a room. He also
Stetson was trained by an expert – his father was a master hatter. John B. Stetson grew his company into one of America’s most well-known and successful businesses. John was a leader in the hat making industry because of his new styles for fashion and utility.
Now, more than 150 years later, the Stetson hat factory located in Garland, Texas, is one of the largest hat factories in the country. The Stetson name continues to enjoy immediate recognition.
The company’s distribution was initially limited to Texas and Oklahoma, but advancements in manufacturing led the company to open a larger facility in Garland, Texas in 1938. Resistol Hats are still made in Garland, Texas today. The Byer-Rolnick company went on to acquire a fur cutting plant and built a rough-body plant in Longview, Texas. This made Byer-Rolnick the first manufacturer to operate the entire felt hat making process from start to finish, enabling the company to oversee quality control and production in all steps.
