Not relevant in the actual article, but once in Mexico City I saw a dude wearing a huge straw sombrero that was on fire. It might be the funniest thing I've ever seen. Maw 16:41, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

"Cowboys of the American southwest later adopted the sombrero and modified it into the cowboy hat."

The "Cowboy hat" page never mentions this, and to the contrary suggests that the cowboy hat was invented in England and developed in the US without regard for the Mexican hat. Amulekii 14:38, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] High what?

when the article says high tip and wide brim, does that mean high 'top'? is it a typo or is that the name for it in other words.Julia Rossi

I suspect that the intended word there was "crown"--see Hat#Parts of a hat. 74.137.108.185 (talk) 20:13, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
