The John B. Stetson Company, founded by John B. Stetson in 1865, was the maker of the Stetson cowboy hats, but ceased manufacturing in 1970.[1] Stetson hats are now being manufactured in Garland, Texas, by Hatco, Inc., who also produce Resistol and Charlie 1 Horse hats.[2]
Stetson resumed manufacturing in the 1980s, but the company went bankrupt in 1986.[3] The factory equipment and the license to manufacture Stetson hats was purchased by Hat Brands, a company owned by Irving Joel.
