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”
