This was one of the questions that I got from watching the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. They referred to the Mounty hats as Stetsons. Of course I said "That's not a Stetson it's a Mountie hat." I guess I am very used to the cowboy hat style. I decided it was time to learn a little bit more about the Stetson hat. It seems it has become a very generic term for a cowboy hat, which was probably why I was so confused.
The company originated in St. Joseph, Missouri. The real Stetson hat has a high crown. It seems like he created several different styles so there are different looks to a Stetson. It was everything from a cowboy hat to a fur hat. I'm still on the search for a picture of the true iconic Stetson hat.
