カウボーイハット

かうぼーいはっと
noun
cowboy hat
clothing
1. cowboy hat (the wide-brimmed felt or straw hat traditionally worn by American cowboys)
A wide-brimmed hat with a tall crown, typically made of felt, leather, or straw, originally worn by cowboys in the western United States. In Japan the word denotes both the actual western hat and any costume hat in that style — for example at theme parks, Halloween, or country-music events.
カウボーイハットをかぶる。
I put on a cowboy hat.
彼(かれ)は大(おお)きなカウボーイハットをかぶっていた。
He was wearing a big cowboy hat.
ハロウィンのために茶色(ちゃいろ)いカウボーイハットを買(か)った。
I bought a brown cowboy hat for Halloween.
アメリカ西部(せいぶ)の映画(えいが)に出(で)てくる男(おとこ)はたいていカウボーイハットをかぶっている。
The men who appear in American Western movies are usually wearing cowboy hats.

カウボーイハット is a transparent loanword from English "cowboy hat." It refers to the wide-brimmed hat associated with American cowboys and the Western (cowboy) genre, but the word is used very broadly in Japan — for any hat in that recognizable style, including children's costume hats.
