Trivia
- Many theories exist as to why the Stetson became known as the 'ten-gallon hat'. The Stetson company admits their largest product can only hold, at most, 3 quarts of liquid. The name may have been adopted due to the original Stetson's high quality and tightly-woven felt, making it watertight, albeit briefly. The problem with this theory, however, is that any fabric container used to hold water will eventually unravel and be destroyed.
- Another theory is that the term "ten gallon" is possibly a corruption of the Spanish term "galón", or galloon, a type of narrow braided trimming around the crown, possibly a style adapted by the vaqueros. In essence, the term 'ten-gallon' did not originally refer to the holding capacity of the hat, but to the width of a Mexican sombrero hatband. When Texas cowboys misunderstood the word "galón" for "gallon," the popular, though incorrect, legend may have been born.
