I sold this to a friend of mine at school.
Blaze orange canvas, reversible to hunting plaid. Clix zips on the game pouch and sleeve pocket. Leather reinforcement on the pockets. Made by Weather Chief. Supposedly water proof/resistant. I put that to the test by wearing it in light rain and found it to be patently false. Canadian Wildlife Federation patch, and some nice fade to the canvas.
This Royal Stetson was made and sold in Canada. It has the Canadian style size tag and aquashed markings. The proportions are classic, and the sweatband is (in my opinion) the perfect shade of brown. It dates from the 1950s and I got it at a vintage shop in Kensington Market, Toronto.
Canadian made Stetsons had gold foil tags. This one is also marked with a Canadian retailer’s stamp, so it’s easier to place the location of manufacture. It’s somewhere between a tyrolean and a pork pie in styling.

This linen jacket dates from the late ’50s or early 1960s. It’s Canadian made, and LOUD. Early Don Cherry?
Another pair of John McHale captoes, this time with Cats Paw Heels instead of leather suicide heels.
And a family portrait of two pairs together.
This 1960s jacket is pure Canadiana. Maple leaf tartan fabric. Maple leaf buttons.
