| 词汇 | stetson |
| 词源 | Stetson. After poor health forced John Batterson Stetson (1830–1906) to travel west at the time of the Civil War, it oc- curred to him that no one was manufacturing hats suited to the practical needs of the western cowboy, and on his return to Philadelphia in 1865 he went into the hat business, specializing in western-style headgear. The wide-brimmed, 10-gallon felt hats he manufactured immediately became popular with cow- boys and have been called Stetsons, or John B’s, ever since. |
