Description

Hat owner worked on a farm during childhood where he developed a practical use for a cowboy hat. Cowboy hat was worn during the late 80s and 90s in Cutbank Montana.

ID: A white cowboy hat made from straw like material that has endured discoloration as well as slight bending at the brim. A thin brown leather hatband, with white stitching and simple silver metal work, circle the base of the hat. The decorative hat band consists of alternating metal diamonds between each cross stitch, all located on either side of the front half of the hat. A central thin knob of metal sits in the center front of the hat band, separating the sections of stitching and metal dimonds. Three black metal rings with openings can be found on either length of the hat to provide ventilation.
