Did you know the Kentucky Derby is the oldest continuously held sporting event in America? Until recently, I didn't either. The first Kentucky Derby race occurred in 1875. Close to 10,000 people watched as 15 thoroughbred horses ran what was then a 1.5 mile course. The Derby now draws an average of 150,000 visitors each year, all decked out in the height of Kentucky Derby style. Saturday May 2 will be the 141 th Annual Kentucky Derby. We'll tell you how to get the look with American made fashion.

Nothing says the Kentucky Derby quite like a wide brimmed hat. hats.com has a great selection of American made hats for men and women. I suggest checking out the site for its stylish hats for all occasions. For the Derby, I suggest the Betmar Aurora: an amazing straw wide brim hat that's handcrafted in Pennsylvania.

hats.com is offering USA Love List readers 15% off of Made in USA hats using the code ‘USAlove’.
