Bat Masterson, the Old West's dapper jack-of-all-trades, began his tale as Bartholemew William Barclay Masterson in Quebec, 1853. Renowned as a lawman, journalist, buffalo hunter, and gambler, Masterson wore many hats throughout his life - proverbially, that is. When it came to headwear, though, Masterson's ensemble was never complete without his trademark derby.

Educated and elegant, he was more at ease in bespoke suits than cowboy boots, completing his look with an iconic gold-tipped cane. A connoisseur of the written word, he later swapped gunslinging for sports journalism.

Ironically, the man who survived countless bullets met his end from a heart attack in 1921, pen in hand, crafting his final piece for the 'New York Morning Telegraph.'
