Description: A well-worn, light brown, felt cowboy hat with a crease in the the crown and a turned-up brim on both sides. The sweatband is missing, in its stead are the remnants of thread and glue with holes punched in at intervals where a cord is threaded through so the hat will stay on the head. There is an oval of white glue on the inside crown where a label may have been. There is also the remnants of a paper label from Smithbilt hats (2.3x1.0cm wide) in white with blue outline and lettering “BILT”. There are three brands marked on the hat: Albert Johnston’s, on the back, of an “R and half-circle” (2.4cm); from the front, viewer’s right, a “Y” (3.2x3.0cm wide) with a straight line underneath (the threaded gold cord is tied directly under this); on the opposite side, viewer’s left, is a drawing of a broken ski pole (2.5x2.8cm wide) that is Erling Strom’s brand. There are chew marks on the brim, a large one 6.0 long and up to 1.0cm deep, 4.0cm to the left of this is another chew mark 0.50cm and a tear 1.0cm.

Description: A well-worn, beige, felt, cowboy hat with a grosgrain ribbon hat band around the base of the crown. There is a dark brown, soft leather, sweatband sewn onto the inside of the crown rim and at the back, where it is pieced together, a red fabric ribbon tied in a bow, and to the left of that, a gold embossed “MADE IN CANADA” with logo above. To the right of that written in script “Royal DeLuxe” and printed underneath “STETSON”. Just above the red fabric bow is a piece of wire that was used to hang this hat in Nick Morant’s hat collection. The crown is lined in beige satin and there is a logo with “STETSON” printed under it. Remnants of the plastic cover that used to be over the top of the crown are visible. There is a hand-printed card attached with string and tied onto the leather sweatband “ERLING STROM’S HAT a veteran of the Mt. Assiniboine trails”
