Smithbilt Straw Canvas Cattleman Hat - Cowboy Hat

Canvas cowboy hat. Smithbilt straw canvas cattleman hat in a size 7 1/8 (medium). Genuine Shantung Panama straw hat. Has some flaws, including a few light marks from wear, and it is missing the band. Smithbilt has repair and reshaping options online, if that's something that interests you, you could also attach a band yourself if preferred. Cowboy hats made from straw are a light coloured hat that can reflect the sun’s light, deflecting its heat for working on hot summer days.  Calgary Stampede founder Guy Weadick created an event, based on working cowboys that tested the skills and horsemanship required to perform their daily jobs, and made it famous by Buffalo Bill's Wild West touring show, Gene Autry and American media.
