Im assuming that is sarcasm, but im talking the hats he wears in the movie jeremiah johnson. And the hats i see are like felt/leathers versions of your hat. I personally wear a bass pro shop baseball cap, or a london fod felt hat like the above when out in the wide open sun.
That could be it, but i heavily doubt its just that when they also were belt buckles and jeans. Looks to me like maine has alot of wana be cowboys,...
John Stetson made his first cowboy hat in California during the 1949 gold rush, but his first was for himself. He sold it to go back east where he came from and began making them in Pennsylvania, his home state.
Pennsylvanians, not cowboys, were the ones who first wore the Stetson cowboy hats. Why did they catch on in Philadelphia?
Because they protect the head, offer shade for the face and the eyes, keep the rain off your head and out of your face, and look good doing it.
The same reasons the cowboys adopted them, southerners adopted them, midwesterners adopted them, etc. etc. They are practical, stylish and expensive headwear. People everywhere buy them for exactly the same reasons they always did.
So non of you have seen these hats (again not ten gallon, but smaller versions) or have rarley seen them?
Nope, not one.

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?
None. What's with the caring about how we dress? We wear what we wear because it's how we want to dress. We listen to the music we like. We're obviously not the stereotype you were expecting and/or hoping for. We're individuals just like everyone in every other state.

Whenevrr i am up in maine (i was last week as well) i tend to see men wearing cowboyish hats. Not ten gallon hats, but smaller versions. Is this common up in maine, if so may i ask why?
Its normally middle aged to elderly men, but i have seen some kids do it as well. It seems common from what i see, but idk why the northeast would have clothing styles known in the southwest.
On another nore ive been noticing a ****ton of country music (not pop country) but things like toby keith, jason aldean, hank williams charlie daniels, which seems contrary to my music post months ago.
I think you ran into the local chapter of the Tea Party.

Mine are cheap. Those your talking about are expensive.
If mine gets blown loose in the wind and tramped by my hogs it is not a big deal. Since they cost less than a buck a piece.
If I had a $100 hat I would be hesitant to wear it much.
Couldn't keep a stetson hat on walking through the alders.
