Did national or ethnic background have an influence? When traveling through western US, I've been surprised at how many men still sport cowboy hats, which no one would wear here in the east.

Somehow a nice fedora or homburg does something for a man. Also a smart black felt cowboy hat which is what attracted me (in part) to my husband. After wearing fedoras & Panamas (I don't remember him ever wearing a homburg) for much of his working life, my Dad, in his later retired years began wearing a white straw cowboy hat and I thought he looked quite nice in it.
