The TEN GALLON HAT has several theories about how the term originated. The first ten gallon hat was sold in 1925 by the Stetson Company. They advertised their Ten Gallon Hats were made of such a tight weave that they were waterproof and that you give your horse a drink of water--not quite ten gallons, actually about 3 quarts!
The hats today are more decorative and not meant to use to as a watering hole!! The original Ten Gallon Hat was worn by Tom Mix.
