Stetson sets the standard in Hats — it practically means Hats. The brand embodies spirit of the West and is an icon of quality and style the World over. Because of its authentic and rich heritage, Stetson has and will always be a part of American history. It was all started by a young American entrepreneur in the mid 1800’s named John B. Stetson.
It was all started by a young American entrepreneur in the mid 1800’s named John B. Stetson and this is his story…
If there was one thing John B. Stetson hated, it was the patter of raindrops on his head. He knew the rain and East coast cold weather would make his tuberculosis worse. In 1859, on doctor’s advice, the 24 year-old John B. moved out West.
By the 1860’s, John B. was panning for gold in Colorado but found the rugged life made him sicker. When he was trapped in the mountains and threatened by sudden rainstorms and howling winds, ordinary clothing didn't keep him warm and dry. He knew he had to act fast to protect himself — or die — so he hurled himself into the task. He noticed how beavers’ pelts repelled water in streams, so he trapped a few and created a thick fur felt that he used to make a tent, which kept him warm and dry.
