One of the essential requirements of a proper cowboy hat is its durability, not to mention its significant crown and wide brim turned up at the sides. Influenced by 19th-century Mexican culture, this hat remains popular today, particularly among ranch workers in the southern United States and northern Mexico, country music singers, and with riders on rodeo circuits. It is recognized throughout the world for its popularity in the Old West.

At Balel, we have created our own version of this type of hat, respecting all the characteristics that define it. The Joan Black Silk model is an elegant and sophisticated version of this type of hat. Made with matte black beaver felt, it is lined on the outside with an exquisite and original black silk that gives it a very elegant shine. Of course, all the seams are concealed to achieve a finish that remains true to its perfect nature.
