What Are Hats?
Hats are brimmed leisure headwear, typically featuring a brim that circles the crown for sun cover and field dress. They are not safety helmets and must not be worn during riding.
In this category you will typically find:
- Wide-brim sun hats for yard and field work
- Fedoras and felt hats for leisure dress
- Field hats with circular brims
Hats vs Caps
Hats have a brim that circles the crown for full sun cover. Caps have a front peak only without a circular brim. Shop caps when you want a baseball-style or sport-peaked design.
Both hats and caps are leisure accessories. Neither replaces a safety helmet during riding.
Hats vs Riding Helmets
Hats are leisure wear for yard, field and casual dress. Riding helmets are safety-certified head protection required during mounted work. Never wear a hat instead of a riding helmet when mounted or working around horses in a manner that requires head protection.
Hats are for ground dress only.

How to Choose a Hat
Start from the use: wide-brim sun cover for field work, fedora for leisure dress or circular-brim field hat for yard wear. Check brim width, fabric and crown style on the listing, then confirm sizing before ordering.
Never substitute a hat for a riding helmet during mounted work or any activity requiring safety-certified head protection.
