Texas Phil Peeno #50923 Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Mexican Cowboys in South Texas
Big Jake1001 Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Mexican sugar-loaf hats. Sugar used to come in cones called sugar-loafs. The early cars had really high canvas tops so you could ride in the car with your hat on. When cars started getting roof lines lowered, Mexican sombreros got lower crowns too. Big Jake
Utah Bob #35998 Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 The high crown gives a bit of air circulation and was theoretically cooler to wear.
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 The high crown gives a bit of air circulation and was theoretically cooler to wear. From Bob the mad hatter hizownself.
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Yeah, but don't they make your head bones conform to the hat shape? The Flathead indians would attach boards to a baby's head to make it flat. Duz Mexican SUGAR LOAF hats do the same thang?

Texas Phil Peeno #50923 Posted January 17, 2011 Author Posted January 17, 2011 What amaze me is how they keep these skyscrapers on their heads. The cowboy on the right between the two downed cattle have crown on him. That must at least 1.5 ft. tall (more likely 2 ft. tall).
Utah Bob #35998 Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Yeah, but don't they make your head bones conform to the hat shape? The Flathead indians would attach boards to a baby's head to make it flat. Duz Mexican SUGAR LOAF hats do the same thang? Si!
Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 They are easier to stack GG ~
Subdeacon Joe Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Si! My GAWD!!! What did they do to your head in that hospital, Bob? Looks like you will need a head bob, Bob.
