Wikipedia
Sombrero
A sombrero (Spanish transl. hat, lit. 'shadower') is a type of wide-brimmed Mexican men's hat used to shield the face and eyes from the sun. It usually has a high pointed crown, an extra-wide brim (broad enough to cast a shadow over the head, neck and shoulders of the wearer) that is slightly upturned at the edge, and a chin strap to hold it in place. In Mexico, this hat type is known as a sombrero de charro ("charro hat", referring to the traditional Mexican horsemen). In Spanish, any wide-brimmed hat may be considered a sombrero.

A sombrero is a traditional Mexican hat with a wide brim designed to provide shade from the sun. It is typically made from straws or felt and is often characterized by a pointed, high crown, a wide, floppy brim broad enough to cast a shadow over the head, neck, and shoulders, and a chin strap to hold it in place. The term "sombrero" directly translates to "shade maker" from Spanish. They are often decorated with colorful designs or bands.

Sombrero
Sombrero in English refers to a type of wide-brimmed hat in Mexico and the Philippines. It usually has a high pointed crown, an extra-wide brim, and a chin string to hold it in place. Cowboys generalized the word to mean just about any wide broad-brimmed hat. In Mexico, peasant sombreros are usually made of straw, while wealthier people wear sombreros made of felt. They come in many designs with different colorings, woven patterns, and decorations. The Mexican sombrero has become a national and cultural symbol, and is often used in traditional Mexican celebrations, especially by communities outside Mexico.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
Sombrero
som-brā′rō, n. a broad-brimmed hat, generally of felt, much worn in Mexico and the south-western United States. [Sp.,—sombre, a shade.]
