I have one of those Stetson Gun Club hats. When I was at L.L. Bean in early December in Freeport, they had some Stetsons for sale, not as nice as the Gun Club one of the few items I saw there not made in China. I still have a few of their shirts that are not Chi-Com. It (the Stetson) was given to me by my late Father-in-law. I didn't know how much it cost until I clicked on the link the OP provided. I wore it out to dinner tonight. Of course you would have to come up on the Blue Ridge of North Carolina to see me wearing it as I do not at present reside in Maine.
For what its worth (not much), I was watching an episode of "Murder She Wrote" and saw that the Sheriff of Cabot Cove, Maine wears a Stetson cowboy hat, which is about as real as the actors' Maine accents.
Haven't seen a true cowboy hat since leaving the west coast. Of course I am an old rock and roller so don't hang at country western venues either.
Dunno about a 'trend', I've been wearing one most of my life. Got a genuine beaver felt Stetson that cost a bit, don't wear it much because my head got too big (go ahead, say it...). Got a leather one that gets much more use. Of course, I often wear 'ball caps' too, and I have a rabbit fur hat with ear flaps for when it gets really cold.

sounds similar to me here. I wear a brown Bass Pro Shops ball cap normally, my grandfathers old london fog (similar to a stetson in shape ect) if my outfit goes with it, and in winter i wear a brown ear flab (bomber?) hat with ear flabs for the cold.
So non of you have seen these hats (again not ten gallon, but smaller versions)
Now whats with all the belt buckles/country music. And again not big texas belt buckles, but rather something about the size of a fist?
Sounds lik a boonie to me, all right, and I see lots of them on the old duffers.
Size of a fist, huh? Sounds like his jock is hitched up too tight....
