Hello stagers,
Here's a trivia question about Western fashion during the Wild West Era.
Just how many gallons of water would a Ten Gallon Hat hold?
I personally have never seen anyone wearing one of these hats.
If you, or someone you know, routinely wears one. Please let us know.

I saw this a while ago but don't remember the answer. I think the "10 Gallon" name comes from an error in translation, not an estimate of volume.
