Keep It Under Your Stetson
The Stetson Hat company decided to do a series of posters during World War II to demonstrate what would happen if people had "loose lips" - they publicly discussed what they knew about war activities and production. The tagline for these posters was "Keep it under your Stetson," with a Stetson being the famous cowboy hat worn by Buffalo Bill through John Wayne and Annie Oakley.
