In the Doctor Who episode "The Impossible Astronaut", the Eleventh Doctor wears a stetson, proclaiming, "I wear a Stetson now. Stetsons are cool." It is then shot off his head by River Song. This is a continuation of a series running gag involving the Eleventh Doctor's wardrobe.
The Stetson appears again in the episode "Closing Time", where it is given to the Doctor by Craig Owens after he tells Craig he is going to Utah. Two children who saw him wearing the Stetson later reported that they thought "he was a cowboy off to a gunfight". In Season 7 of Doctor Who there ia a wild western episode, "A Town Called Mercy", where the Doctor wears a stetson again.
Another instance in which a Stetson was used is found in the novel Of Mice and Men, in which Slim, one of the most prominent characters of the novel is seen donning said hat.
The 1967 song "Tramp" by Lowell Fulson, made popular in 1967 by Otis Redding and Carla Thomas, refers to Stetson hats in the line, "You don't wear continental clothes, or Stetson hats."
The character Raylan Givens of the FX show Justified wears a Stetson.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“But popular rage,
Hysterica passio dragged this quarry down.
None shared our guilt; nor did we play a part
Upon a painted stage when we devoured his heart.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The white dominant culture seemed to think that once the Indians were off the reservations, they’d eventually become like everybody else. But they aren’t like everybody else. When the Indianness is drummed out of them, they are turned into hopeless drunks on skid row.”
—Elizabeth Morris (b. c. 1933)
