Cody Johnson doesn't wear a cowboy hat as a costume — he wears it because he earned it. A former bull rider turned team roper before he ever topped the country charts, "CoJo" lives the western life he sings about, and the hat is the real deal, not a prop.
His signature is a structured cowboy hat with a rounded, rectangular "brick" crown and a wide, shovel-front brim — clean, rugged, and built to work. He rotates between crisp natural straw for the heat and rich felt when it cools off. Here's how to build the same honest western look.
The straw rancher (his warm-weather look)
For summer shows and long days in the sun, Cody reaches for a vented straw cowboy hat in natural tones — lightweight, breathable, and authentically working-cowboy.
Shop the look:

The felt cowboy hat (for the cooler months)
When the temperature drops, the straw comes off and a felt cowboy hat goes on — the traditional, dressed-up side of the western look that carries from the arena to a night out.
