Description |
The Legion of Frontiersmen Hat was fashioned after that worn by the RCMP. This is a light, brown felt hat. It has a 9cm wide round flat brim. The part of the hat that covers the head is oval-shaped, but 7cm from the brim, there are 4 indentations and 4 creases that come to a point. Around the head, there is a medium brown hat band, and at the left side of the hat band, there is a buckle that joins the ends of the hat band together. At the front of the hat is a "Frontiersmen" brass pin. The pin depicts a laurel wreath, inside of which is a rectangle with a cross and a circle. Inside the circle are printed the words "GOD GUARD THEE." There is also a brown leather strap that goes under the chin. On the left side of this strap, there is a 5cm length that is braided. On the inside of the hat is marked, "John B. Stetson Co. (Canada) Limited, Brockville, No.1 Quality." |
