Not relevant in the actual article, but once in Mexico City I saw a dude wearing a huge straw sombrero that wason fire. It might be the funniest thing I've ever seen.Maw16:41, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
"Cowboys of the American southwest later adopted the sombrero and modified it into the cowboy hat."
The "Cowboy hat" page never mentions this, and to the contrary suggests that the cowboy hat was invented in England and developed in the US without regard for the Mexican hat.Amulekii14:38, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
when the article says high tip and wide brim, does that mean high 'top'? is it a typo or is that the name for it in other words.Julia Rossi (talk)04:34, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Im sure the Harry S. Truman sombrero is very wonderful but I am also sure that an image can be found of an authentic Mexican sombrero. That is why I deleated the reference to President Truman; it may be his sombrero but why use a gringo's headwear. There are millions of other choices that can be made. It would respect the traditions and culture and people of Mexico to find another. Or, understand why it is that I made the change. Gracias!—Buster7 (talk •contribs)04:15, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The concept of a broad-brimmed hat with a high crown worn by arider on horseback came primarily from the Mongolian horsemen in the 13th century.[1] The Spaniards developed a flat-toppedsombrero, which they brought to Mexico.
Anyone like to comment on this?-oo0(GoldTrader)0oo- (talk)03:57, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
However, the above is just one opinion on its history. According to Harley Morenstein from Epic Meal Time, the sombrero originates from the standard bowl. People used to do food in them, slowly people started to see how it would be great to wear the bowls as an hat for sun protection. And so the sombrero was born.— Precedingunsigned comment added byAnother Moose (talk •contribs)13:04, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm from Spain, 32 and I'm quite familiar with the folklorical clothes of most of the Spanish regions. In my whole life have I never heard of such a thing aspoblano hat. The closest thing is this[1]. The allusion to the "conchos" ("conchas", as a matter of fact), makes me think that it has been mistaken for thePilgrim's hat, used by pilgrims doing the Way of St. James.Poblano sounds to me likefrom Puebla, a Mexican region, I pressume.— Precedingunsigned comment added by95.18.38.172 (talk)15:32, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The Estadio Olimpico Universitario in Mexico City main venue for the 1968 Summer Olympics designed by Augusto Pérez, Raúl Salinas Moro y Jorge Bravo for architectural design bears a resemblance to a mariachi hat.Nekko09 (talk)22:49, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

He's talking about this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-PoSt7JPJ4 At 2:41 and ending at 2:57 the host states a "fact" about the Sombrero, then asks for people to edit the Wikipedia page. What the host says in the video at 2:41 is the line people were entering into Wikipedia.— Precedingunsigned comment added by76.11.9.128 (talk)04:50, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
According to the Swedish page the name comes from the Spanish word for shadow -> Sombra— Precedingunsigned comment added by194.236.40.162 (talk)14:24, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I found there are articles about four other types of hat all known as types of "sombrero", from Spain and one from Colombia, all either ancestors or directly related to the Mexican sombrero. I was kind of surprised that this page didn't mention them or link to them. I added a sentence and links to all flour pages, but in my opinion all of the pages could be combined into one, since in reality the Mexican sombrero is derived from the earlier Spanish sombrero, which is still worn.
This article only gave a brief sentence saying something about how the "design had been imported from Spain". We could either do one big article with sections on each type of hat, which would show clearly how interrelated they are, or we should at least put more emphasis in this page on how the sombrero evolved from theSombrero cordobés, basically by growing wider and adopting an easier-to-make rounded crown. It seems to me that "sombrero" is more of aclass of hat than a specific hat worn by Mexicans.AnnaGoFast (talk)20:21, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
