So here is my brief yet still extensive description of the styles, trends, and history of "Cowboy Hats" in the wild west. Sorry in advance if the formatting is bad, I don't often post big texts.
What many people do not know is that most cowboys, gunslingers, and outlaws wore Derby style hats. So many so, that the Derby was described by author Lucius Beebe as "The hat that won the west". Derbies are a small, rounded hat with a medium height crown and a thin brim, popular in the 1800's both in the Wild West as well as cities. This hat hardly gets in the way of movement and wonβt likely blow off in wind or fast riding, but the brim does not provide much protection against the sun anywhere other than the head.
Here are some examples of people in the wild west, most of which are wearing derbies.

A standard western hat with a medium height crown and a medium width brim. Many times this hat will have the sides of the brim bent upwards so it doesn't get in the way of movement, such as lassoing steer.
The Sugarloaf is hard to find images and references to, even though it has origins all the way back to the Middle Ages. This is mostly because other stereotypical western hats were popularized in mid 20th century movies. The Sugarloaf is a simple hat with a wide brim and a tall slightly conical crown that is rounded at the top. They were liked because they were very effective at keeping sun off the wearer.
Similar to a Boss of the Plains, but with a higher crown, and a wider brim to keep sun off the wearer. Often used by folks who spend long hours in the sun.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies π

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
