Wikipedia

  1. Sombrero

    A sombrero (Spanish transl. hat, lit. 'shadower') is a type of wide-brimmed Mexican men's hat used to shield the face and eyes from the sun. It usually has a high pointed crown, an extra-wide brim (broad enough to cast a shadow over the head, neck and shoulders of the wearer) that is slightly upturned at the edge, and a chin strap to hold it in place. In Mexico, this hat type is known as a sombrero de charro ("charro hat", referring to the traditional Mexican horsemen). In Spanish, any wide-brimmed hat may be considered a sombrero.

  1. Sombrero

    Sombrero in English refers to a type of wide-brimmed hat in Mexico and the Philippines. It usually has a high pointed crown, an extra-wide brim, and a chin string to hold it in place. Cowboys generalized the word to mean just about any wide broad-brimmed hat. In Mexico, peasant sombreros are usually made of straw, while wealthier people wear sombreros made of felt. They come in many designs with different colorings, woven patterns, and decorations. The Mexican sombrero has become a national and cultural symbol, and is often used in traditional Mexican celebrations, especially by communities outside Mexico.

  1. Sombrero

    som-brā′rō, n. a broad-brimmed hat, generally of felt, much worn in Mexico and the south-western United States. [Sp.,—sombre, a shade.]
