15 president calvin coolidge and dakota clyde jones on the steps of thewhite house in their ten gallon hats according to history com most experts argue that the name 10 gallon hat is actually an import from south of the border derived either from braided hatbands called galons in spanish or from the spanish phrase tan galan roughly translated as very gallant or really handsome the history com article is wrong on at least one point most experts do not argue either one of those theories pro or con most people discussing one or the other or both of these origin stories generally state them as fact or state as fact that one or the other theory is true or likely to be true or believed by other experts to be true or likely to be true there has been very little published argument analysis or discussion pro or con of either one of those theories since their first appearances in print many decades ago the history com article may also be wrong about the likely origins of the expression ten gallon hat a third simpler theory seems more likely that ten gallon is an irreverent humorous exaggeration used to emphasize the relatively large size of the hat the editors of the merriam webster dictionary supported the exaggerated volume theory in a syndicated column in 1987 the same column dismissed the braided hatband theory as unlikely the likeliest and most obvious explanation for the word s being used in this way is that the hat like the gallon measurement was large perhaps the largest hat in the west just as the word pint is often used to describe what is smaller than average as in pint sized and half pint the word gallon came to signify what is larger than average even enormous take our word syndicated column the editors of merriam webster s ninth new collegiate dictionary montana standard butte montana february 1 1987 page 22 the exaggerated volume theory is also consistent with the earlier use of x gallon to describe a different style of large hat for many decades beginning as early as the 1880s silk top hats stovepipe hats or plug hats were routinely referred to as two gallon four gallon five gallon or on occasion even ten gallon hats although by far the most common version seems to have been the two gallon hat beginning in the late 1910s as top hats were going out of style western style cowboy hats became the new sheriff of x gallon hat town one of the earliest known unambiguously western examples was a reference to ten gallon hats in texas although two gallon and four gallon were more common through much of the 1920s references to x gallon western hats were kept in the public eye through movies and movie commentary shameless self promotion by westerners and western towns and civic organizations and by several high profile incidents involving presidents harding and coolidge and high profile hats ten gallon hat would become more or less standard by the 1930s given the long history of x gallon in reference to non western style hats decades before its use with respect to western style cowboy hats it seems unlikely that the gallon in x gallon hat was derived originally from the spanish galon braid said to have been used on mexican sombreros and given the long history of x gallon hat decades before ten gallon hat became a thing it seems unlikely that ten gallon hat was derived in the first instance from the spanish compliment tan galan two gallon or more top hats many of the early examples of x gallon hat in print do not specify or explain the hat style at issue but the context of several examples suggests and some later examples specifically clarify that the types of hats generally referred to in that fashion are formal silk top hats or stovepipe hats of the style associated with abraham lincoln or the monopoly board game mascot rich uncle pennybags a tall hat suggests a large volume which was humorously referred to as an x gallon hat the earliest such reference from 1882 does not specify the type of hat but suggests that it would make the speaker unrecognizable from his normal appearance hush charley don t talk so loud when we have our two gallon hat on the girls can t tell us from the hairy man of the jungles the homer index homer michigan april 12 1882 page 3 another early reference does not mention the type of hat but it appears in a story about a big city businessman a fellow from pittsburgh who had been putting on airs and treating the locals rudely while visiting the smaller town of monongahela precisely the kind of person who might be more likely to wear a formal hat than the rustic locals but he was put in his place by a school girl standing at the city hotel door with a two gallon hat on he ogled a school girl passing down with an insolent air and said good evening miss good evening she replied looking at him so suspiciously that he hesitated ahem miss ahem a well she put in why don t you bark bark bark what do you mean i don t quite understand oh you don t why here in monongahela a puppy that has had any decent training always barks when he sees a stranger the daily republican monongahela pennsylvania april 16 1883 page 4 another early example does not describe the hat but it takes place at a wedding precisely the sort of place a formal hat might be worn a number of pittsburg s darkest and handsomest african citizens the girls full of fun and the boys with two gallon hats on went up on the morning train to attend the wedding of two of brownsville s darkest and handsomest the daily republican monongahela pennsylvania may 24 1883 page 4 another early example involved a political club from pittsburgh s continental club with their big crimson banner and two gallon hats i attending grover cleveland s presidential inauguration precisely the sort of event where a silk top hat might have been worn at that time an early example from michigan may be the oldest version of the old chestnut ii about a large hat covering a small brain the young paw paw plug thinks it requires a two gallon hat to cover a pint of brains the true northerner paw paw michigan september 2 1886 page 5 another early x gallon hat joke relates to dudes wearing plug hats merriam
