In 1865, with $100, John B. Stetson rented a small room, bought the tools he needed, bought $10 worth of fur, and the John B. Stetson Hat Company was born. A year later, the name Stetson was on its way to becoming the mark of quality, durability, innovation, and style in the world of cowboy hats.
John B. Stetson trained by his father, a master hatter, and applied his skills and knowledge to the cowboy hat trade. He then built the Stetson Hat Company to be one of America's most well known and successful businesses. Stetson has led the western hat industry by designing new legendary cowboy hat styles while not forgetting the importance of function. Quality was always John B. Stetson's creed, and for the past 145 years, quality has been synonymous with the Stetson name.
