SAN CRISTOBAL WESTERN TEARDROP HAT

Brim: 3 1/2"
Crown: 5"
Band: A thin, tonal grosgrain band with Two Roads bar pin.

It's an understandable reality, but most Americans' knowledge of Mexican geography is limited to resort cities and border towns. Imagine taking a snapshot of the United States based solely on Times Square, Beverly Hills or Wrigley Field.

Are those places relevant? Of course, but they're far from a complete look.

And that's what's cool about towns like San Cristobal de las Casas near Mexico's southern border. It's a place that might not be your first choice for Spring Break, but that is chock full of rich, authentic cultural heritage, delicious food and warm, welcoming people.

So why choose this town as our hat's namesake? Well, if all you knew about cowboys and western hats was what you learned from John Wayne, Tombstone or Toy Story's Woody, then you'd absolutely be missing out on a deep well of cultural relevance. So whether you're new to the whole western thing or not – give the San Cristobal a try. It'd be real hard to not look good in a brim like this.
