Are you looking for that perfect sombrero to be ready for your next Cinco de Mayo or fiesta celebration? Well, I’ve found five online retailers who sell these sombreros very cheap. First off, in case you’re not familiar with the rich history of the sombrero, I’ve done some research about this. A sombrero is a symbol of the Mexican culture and labor and can be traced back to cowboys and mariachi musicians. The typical sombrero will consist of a weave of vibrant colored patterns onto a wide-brimmed hat. A sombrero was designed to protect an individual from the elements during long, hot days of outside work. Also, the sombrero has come to be associated with the official folk dance of Mexico, the Mexican hat dance.
