Woodsmoke;
Good evening to you sir, I hope this finds you and yours acceptably well.

As I was born and raised in Saskatchewan and migrated progressively westward since, I've been in hat country my entire life. My first good quality outdoor hat was a fur felt Biltmore made back when they made western styles as well.

It was my main cover in most weather for about 15 years.






Finally the sweatband fell apart and some holes appeared in it so it was replaced by a wool felt Bailey that again has covered my head in the intervening years since my hair has receded to the vanishing point.



It gets worn doing more traditional western chores too.



It's proven to be a bit of a "lucky" hat somehow as stuff seems to come home with us when I'm wearing it....

Still worked this fall too, so it'll be on my head in the morning as an old hunting partner who's moved away comes down for a quick hunt together. Here it is with this fall's meat mulie buck.

Anyway sir you can indeed count me as one who is wearing a western hat until the weather turns too cold and then it's a Kromer.

Till later then.
