The "Grant Saddlery Cochrane 100x Alberta" hat is actually tied to a highly revered name in Canadian western heritage: Grand Saddlery & Western Wear, which was a legendary tack and western apparel staple located in Cochrane, Alberta.
The Heritage Behind the Hat
- The Maker: The shop was famously owned and operated for over 50 years by Bert Strandberg and his family, who were deeply embedded in the Alberta rodeo and ranching community.
- The "Alberta" Connection: In the Canadian western community, vintage items carrying the stamped sweatband of legacy shops like Grand Saddlery are highly collectible tokens of genuine cowboy history.
- The 100X Rating: The 100X designation indicates the highest possible tier of quality for a felt cowboy hat. Historically, a 100X rating means the hat is crafted from 100% pure beaver fur felt
