HMMMMMMM...
I have 3 Cowboy hats. ALL THREE have Jack's brim. And yes, there was a big choice of hats; I chose those after a great deal of looking, tried on at least 20 hats before I found the black one I liked, and that had to be subliminal because the next time I saw Brokeback it hit me that I had bought Jack Twist's black hat.
The white straw one, i tried on just as many because I wanted that same sort of brim, it was me. Why I don't know but it was. And is.
The tan one, I bought on sight: it was a $300.00 Stetson on sale at Shepler's for $99.00 AND it fit perfectly AND had That Brim.
Hat's today come with bands. Most people replace them with either handmade bands or they hunt for one they like which is pre-made. I had the band on my black Wrangler hat taken off and bought a really nice band, which had--god help me--a tail of sorts but lost the band when the hat was knocked off my head during OUR Reunion kiss with my fiance at Denver Airport. So the next day I bought one I wasn't too fond of up in Cheyenne, because I needed a band on that hat to look good in when I proposed.
The straw hat had a band which really looked good on the hat, so I kept it.
Now the one on the TAN hat was so ME I said no way I'm taking it off.

Aguirre's hat was a specific style called Rancher. It was predominant until I think the 1940's when a 'cool dude' rodeo kid turned his brim up. It looked so cool that all the horny young rodeo cowboys followed suit because they thought they looked better and would get more girls. This style is called Rodeo.
All the other horny young cowboys picked that style up as soon as they saw it. Today it predominates.
There is one other brim, which is EXTREMELY curled up on the sides. You see that brim on pissed off country singers, bad ass teenaged boys and cool dude twenty-something males.
You look dumb in that hat unless you are completely attitudinal. At least I do, I'm too old for it. I tried one on and my son said Pop stick with your usual brim, you look idiotic in a curled up brim
LOL
