Back around 1925, The Stetson hat company released a printed advertisement that showed a cowboy giving his horse a drink of water from a hat.

Another theory is that the term is a corruption of a Spanish word describing the narrow braid trim that surrounds the crown of the hat.

How much water does a 10 -gallon hat really hold?

A 10-gallon hat can typically hold around 3/4 to 1 gallon of water, as it is not actually designed to hold 10 gallons of liquid. The name "10-gallon hat" is believed to have originated from a misunderstanding or mistranslation of the Spanish word "galón," which referred to a braid decoration on the hat rather than its capacity.
