A gambler hat is a head covering that is associated with your lifestyle as a gambler. While there are hundreds of possible head coverings and hats out there, nothing screams gambling the same way as a cowboy hat, and if you were to ask your average American what hat would be most fitting to a person whose lifestyle involves taking a risk at games of chance, cowboy hat would be the unanimous answer.
Of course, there is nothing specific about the wide-brim hat that is often associated with the Southern states. Rather, popular culture has continuously tilted at the idea that cowboys and gamblers somehow mix, and through sheer chance or fate, the gambler cowboy hat is a staple of the gambling man.
There are generally two types of gambler hats. The first one is the wide-brim cowboy hat and the other one is the so-called classic planter’s hat, which has a much smaller brim and somewhat more elegant, gentlemanly look.
