Cattleman vs. Pinched Front Crown
The cattleman crown features a single center crease running front to back with two side dents — the most classic and traditional western hat shape. The pinched front (also called teardrop or gus) crown features a pinch at the front of the hat that creates a more tapered, relaxed silhouette. The pinched front is popular for its laid-back western character and works well on a wide range of face shapes.
