In modern times, the word sombrero is a synonym of the wide-brimmed Mexican hat, but in reality, its origins can be found in the Spain. Even as far as 17th century, people from this country used to wear hats called “ Sombrero cordobés” (translated as “wide-brimmed hat”), a traditional hat from the Spanish territories of Córdoba and Andalusia. This hat is defined by the flat crown that is between 10-12cm high, and a relatively short and perfectly flat brim that can be 8-12 cm wide.

It is believed that Mexican sombrero was created after Spanish immigrants brought Sombrero cordobés to the New World.

Sombrero in Spanish means hat. Cordovan hat is nothing like a Mexican sombrero.

 
I'm not spending a fiver on amazon to get a quality sombrero, for it to then get squashed in an overhead locker!
