Cowboys and Hats

This week here in Las Vegas is the National Finals Rodeo.  For days on end we see the horse trailers moving on the Strip.  Felt cowboy hats are everywhere.  These guys like to drink beer and gamble.  They love Las Vegas because they can go 24 hours a day.  Once back in Wyoming or Montana nighttime comes quick this time of year.  The lights never go out in Las Vegas.  These cowboys all have a lady on their arm.  The ladies are nicely dressed in country-western casual.  They will wear knit hat styles to keep the hair-do in shape .Daytime everyone wears roper style shoes, but after 5 PM it's boots only. When the wind comes out of the south we can get a whiff of horse from the corrals 3 miles south at Jackie Gaughn's South Coast Casino.  There must be 200 horse stalls and several hundred cowboy horse trailers out back.  We're selling these folks all kinds of the new animal head style plush winter hats as family gifts as seen at our site www.thehatco.com.  After this week everyone heads back to the ranch to hunker down til spring.

Not quite Winter

You ,ight disagree with that statement if you live in the Great White North, but down here in Nevada it's still just chilly at night.  The big rush to winter hats has not started here3 as of yet.  It will not be long however.  Men are buying more cabby style and brim style hats than ever before.  I hear " I'm tired of ballcaps"  now more than I have ever heard that expression before.  Ladies want  warm beanie styles with color and feminine flairin all age groups.

Christmas budget hat buying

This year as those Christmas season shoppers who have a tighter budget go forth into their gift buying we see this trend:  Accessories,  Accessories,  Accessories.  Everone has their cold weather coats.  The gift giver is looking for a scarf or neck warmer for under the tree. Earmufffs fit everyone at a modest cost.  Warm gloves will always be appreciated.  Men and women will always use a warm beannie sometime during the winter as daily wear or a backup when caught out in a surprise winter blow.  Grat looking hats can be bought and given at a cost of under $10 at The hat Company. We have them on our website under the Winter Casual Category

Halloween Hats of 2011

For 2011 the tried and true costumes are in the forefront again.  Anything with a Village People theme gets good reviews.  Sailors, Police, Pilots, and Cowboys abound.  The girls look great in glamourous movie star outfits with tiaras, feathers, anything with glitter, and short skirts.  Nurses,  French maids,  andSexy school teachers are still in style.  Also kitty girs, lioness', and cheetahs will turn any guys head.
BUT,  you need the hat to make it happen and top it off.  See you in November for the fall issue.
