Spanish sombrero. Traditionally made from wool, wide brimmed with ribbon trim and chin strap.

The traditional sombrero Cordobés is an important part of the Traje Corto.  Colour should complement as best as possible the clothing colour. Men rarely wear black hats (except sometimes in Doma Vaquera – competition – where only the colours black, grey or brown are allowed). The headband is usually white or black. Sombreros should have a wide flat and stiff brim. Some cheaper versions have a narrower and/or flexible brim and these are not truly correct. The sombrero should be worn pulled onto the forehead and should touch the right eyebrow. It should never hang down behind the wearer. If a chin strap is used it goes under the chin, not neck.
