Description
This Sheriff's winter uniform hat is made of brown cotton cloth and lined with black nylon quilted cloth. Inside of the hat there is a ¾ inch fabric headband sewn to the lining. Attached to the hat is a brown fur piece that can be pulled down to cover both ears and the neck. When not in use, there is a ½ inch cotton strap sewn to the right earflap. The other end of the strap has a metal buckle/snap that can be snapped to the left earflap. The front of the cap has an additional fur piece that is reinforced to make stiff and act like a visor. Attached at the center of that visor is a silver metal sheriff's badge that reads, “Sheriff's Reserve, Wright Co.” At the center is a star and a circle with the state seal of Minnesota. Inside the hat is a manufacturer's tag with the number DM476303. A size tag reads 7 ½.
