The bowler was... just a hat, and people wore them in the Old West
*digresses*
Also, not everyone who wore a cowboy hat wore a Stetson! Even now you've got a reasonable chance of telling which region a cowboy is from based on his hat, and back in the day you could place someone rather more accurately based on their hat, rope, chaps, and saddle, since to my knowledge there was no "Ranch Hand Fashion Monthly" going around in the 1880s.
(It's almost like John Wayne movies aren't perfect illustrations of life in the Old West.)
