“ I am a traditionalist myself and love the fact that these proud hatter have been around since 1919 and have a history of furnishing gentleman with dress hats to straw ‘working’ hats and everything in between that a hatter can provide. Quality and comfort are guaranteed with a Smithbilt hat, and that makes me feel good”

“I have been wearing Smithbilt hats now for a number of years . After seeing with my own eyes how well these hats are built not to mention the great customer service, I would never wear any other product, these hats have helped create and are a huge part of the Gord Bamford image. I wanna say thanks to my good friends at Smithbilt.”

George Brookman
Chairman of the Board of Directors - Tourism Calgary 

“Smithbilt is one of the great iconic brands of Calgary and the Canadian West.  During my term as President of the Calgary Stampede, I wore one of my many Smithbilt hats to places all over the world and always got a lot of smiles from the people I met.  To me, Smithbilt Hats are almost as much a part of Calgary as the Calgary Flames or  the Calgary Stampede itself.”

“I absolutely love my Smithbilt hat! Instead of feeling overwhelmed by trying
numerous hats on, Smithbilt built a hat to fit my features and represent my
style, whether I'm on TV covering Calgary Stampede or on the back of my horse barrel racing!”

Smithbilt’s customer service and product are second to none!  I am proud & honoured to wear a Smithbilt at Stampede Board events, while public speaking, during political engagements, and while riding a horse at our homestead in the foothills of the Rockies.  My wife looks fabulous in her world class hat; and when our sons are old enough, they’ll wear one too.  Do yourself a favour:  get a Smithbilt—you deserve it!
