Instead of setting your hat down on its brim turn it upside-down and set it down on the top of its crown. This also allows adequate airflow if any drying of the inside band is needed. The very basic make up of a cowboy hat can be broken down into three simple parts the crown top brim that shades the eye and hat band a piece of fabric or design on the lower part of the top of the hat.
