Desde la invenci\u00f3n del sombrero su evoluci\u00f3n ha estado \u00edntimamente relacionada con aspectos como el estatus social y la moda, haciendo del sombrero un accesorio que aportaba estilo y reforzaba la est\u00e9tica de quien lo llevaba.<\/p>\r\nDentro del arte de la sombrerer\u00eda existen muchos dise\u00f1os o tipos de sombrero que a lo largo de la historia han ido gozando de diferentes protagonismos e importancias. Los m\u00e1s destacados y populares quiz\u00e1s son el\u00a0sombrero de copa, Bowler, Stetson, Fedora, Panama y Canotier<\/strong>.\r\n\r\nSOMBRERO DE COPA O CHISTERA<\/strong>. Creado por John Hetherington en 1797, es considerado como el primer sombreo moderno. Desde su origen se convirti\u00f3 en un standard de vestimenta formal y elegante.\r\n\r\nBOWLER O BOMBIN<\/strong>. Creado en 1849 por los hermanos Bowler en Londres, fue uno de los sombreros m\u00e1s populares en Am\u00e9rica durante el siglo XIX.\r\n\r\nSTETSON<\/strong>. El sombrero cowboy por excelencia fue creado por Jhon B. Stetson en 1865.\r\n\r\nFEDORA<\/strong>. Su dise\u00f1o destaca por un ala ancha, unos bordes algo doblados para crear una depresi\u00f3n en la parte alta del sombrero y un pellizco en el frente que le da forma hacia adelante. Al principio fue un sombrero solo de mujer, para despu\u00e9s popularizarse a trav\u00e9s de actores masculinos como Humphrey Bogart que lo llevaron en diversas pel\u00edculas\u00a0 y convertirse en uno de los sombreros m\u00e1s populares tanto para hombres como para mujeres\r\n\r\nPANAMA<\/strong>. Con un dise\u00f1o y caracter\u00edsticas pr\u00e1cticamente id\u00e9nticas al fedora, su principal diferencia es que este est\u00e1 hecho de paja. Se origin\u00f3 en Ecuador (no Panam\u00e1) y se populariz\u00f3 durante la creaci\u00f3n del canal de Panam\u00e1 a principios del siglo XX, convirti\u00e9ndose en el rey de los sombreros de paja.\r\n\r\nEL SOMBRERO CUBANO CANOTIER<\/strong>. Su fabricaci\u00f3n sigue el uso de paja como tejido principal, dando forma a su cabeza con una copa plana y una forma recta a su ala. Normalmente est\u00e1 decorado con una banda de color azul o negra. Dentro de esta definici\u00f3n entran los conocidos: Canotier, Boater, Pork pie o Gondolero, siendo solo diferenciados entre ellos por los m\u00e1s puristas seg\u00fan el tipo de paja y el trenzado de la misma.\r\n\r\nEl sombrero cubano canotier, boater o pork pie es un sombrero de paja que admite tanto un estilo formal como informal, adaptable a todo tipo de situaciones. Esta por ello considerado entre los mejores sombreros por su elegancia e intemporalidad. En sus or\u00edgenes fue reconocido como el sombrero de la gente y era utilizado por todas las clases sociales: actores, deportistas, navegantes y personas de clase media tanto en comidas campestres, eventos deportivos y excursiones de fin de semana como en acontecimientos m\u00e1s formales. Lleg\u00f3 tambi\u00e9n a ser considerado, aunque usado indistintamente por hombres y mujeres, como un icono de la nueva mujer gracias a su uso por parte de Coco Channel en sus visitas al hip\u00f3dromo antes de la primera guerra mundial.\r\n\r\nEn Cuba constituy\u00f3 la imagen t\u00edpica del refinado caballero cubano entre los a\u00f1os 1914-1940, como complemento del traje blanco crudo \u2018\u2019dril cien\u2019\u2019 tan t\u00edpico de la isla caribe\u00f1a. Su uso se generaliz\u00f3 en las primeras dec\u00e1das del siglo XX junto al sombrero panam\u00e1, de fibra m\u00e1s flexible, y al fedora de pa\u00f1o. Aunque siguiendo la etiqueta del vestir (normada por Inglaterra), pod\u00eda ser utilizado solamente en verano, el clima de la isla hac\u00eda que los cubanos lo utilizaran en cualquier temporada del a\u00f1o, al igual que pasaba en otros pa\u00edses de climas c\u00e1lidos.\r\n\r\nEn la actualidad ha mas que recobrado su importancia siendo un b\u00e1sico dentro del armario de los que les gusta aportar un toque distintivo y diferente a su look cotidiano.","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2012","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nTHE CUBAN CANOTIER HAT<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
