🤠 Cowboy Hat

The Cowboy Hat is a classic western-style Hat in Stardew Valley. It’s a purely cosmetic item that lets your farmer channel rugged frontier vibes without affecting stats or combat.

While it doesn’t change gameplay, it’s a fan-favorite look—perfect for screenshots, RP playthroughs, and pairing with boots and denim outfits.
