Sombrero
Sombrero (Spanish for "hat", literally "shadower") in English refers to a type of wide-brimmed hat popularly worn in Mexico, used to shield from the sun. It usually has a high pointed crown, an extra-wide brim (broad enough to cast a shadow over the head, neck and shoulders of the wearer, and slightly upturned at the edge), and a chin string to hold it in place. Cowboys generalized the word to mean just about any wide broad-brimmed hat. The Sombrero originated from Spain during the late 15th century.
==Design==
Sombreros, like the cowboy hats invented later, were designed in response to the demands of the physical environment. The concept of a broad-brimmed hat worn by a rider on horseback can be seen as far back as the Mongolian horsemen of the 13th century. In hot, sunny climates hats evolved to have wide brims, which provided shade. The Spanish developed a flat-topped ''sombrero'', which they brought to Mexico. It was modified by the vaquero into the round-crowned Mexican sombrero and poblano.〔Bender, Texan Bix. (1994) ''Hats & the cowboys who wear them. pg 11 '' ISBN 1-58685-191-8〕
