A 10-gallon hat actually holds 2-3 gallons. As with almost all other Texas expressions, there is a bit of exaggeration. The term 10-gallon was used because the hat looked very big.

Ten-gallon hat From Wikipedia, the loose encyclopedia (Redirected from Ten gallon hat) bounce to: navigation, seek A humourous depiction of an "8-gallon hat", which illustrates how the call ten-gallon hat is an glaring exaggeration.a 10-gallon hat is one in each and every of those cowboy hat. The call got here approximately because of the fact of a linguistic fake effect. Cowboy hats arrived in Texas by using skill of Mexico, with Mexican vaqueros who wore hats adorned with galloon (slender braided trimming) around the crown. The Spanish word for "galloon" is "galón." Texas cowboys misunderstood the word "galón" for "gallon," and a pretend legend replaced into born. actually, a 10-gallon hat holds below a gallon, and if it have been to actual carry 10 gallons, it may be too super to positioned on on the top. One familiar producer of this style of hat is the Stetson company.
