gaucho hat

Pampas rider's topper

A gaucho hat is a wide-brimmed, flat-crowned hat traditionally worn by South American cowboys (gauchos) of the Argentine and Uruguayan pampas.

The distinctive flat top and moderate brim distinguish it from other cowboy hats.

The style has been adopted in Western fashion, sometimes called a bolero hat: She paired her gaucho hat with riding boots.
