can anybody identify this hat

Post by eaglecrow »

I know this is not Indyrelatet and if somebody could tell me a good general hat forum, please let me know

This photo was taken in 1938 in Alberta, Canada. I know that the picture is not really good, but do have someone of you guys a clue which hat the young Trapper wore?

That is a western hat, from what I can tell. Looks pretty traditional. Fedora

BILTMORE Hats started in Canada. Prior to the early '20s, they were named FRIED. The hat in your picture could have been made by Biltmore.
