Cowboy Hat (Fallout: New Vegas)

Cowboy hats are common headwear in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
All variants have no damage threshold, but provide a bonus of 1 to Perception, as they shield the wearer's eyes from the sun. They can be repaired with Pre-War hats.

The Desperado Cowboy Hat can often be used to repair other hats (Old cowboy hat, Boomers Hat, Rattan Cowboy Hat, more?), but these other hats can not be used to repair the Desperado.

Cattleman cowboy hat
A dusty old hat which adds 1+ percetion. One can be found on Dale Barton.

Desperado cowboy hat
A black cowboy hat with a large brim, curved to the sides, and a thin white band at the base. Interestingly, the Desperado cowboy hat can be used to repair other cowboy hats, yet can only itself be repaired by another Desperado cowboy hat or a Pre-War Hat. With the Jury Rigger Perk it can also be repaired with - surprisingly - Authority Glasses (which you're probably wearing anyway if you're wearing this hat), Reading Glasses and the like.

Old cowboy hat
A brown top hat with a thin flat brim; with a black-and-white feather stuck in a large rust-colored band at the base. Wearing this can bypass the strip black screen glitch.

Rattan cowboy hat
A straw cowboy hat with a wide brim, curved to the sides, indents in the top and at the temples, and a thin black band at the base.

Rawhide cowboy hat
A light brown uncured leather cowboy hat with a slight peak; a thick, flat brim; and a thin black band at the base.
