Smithbilt Hats
Although many city officials in Calgary’s early days gave cowboy hats as gifts to dignitaries visiting the city, a series of events let to the establishment of the white cowboy hat as the city’s symbol of hospitality. 1948 became the first “White Hat” Stampede, for those who could afford them.

There’s something about this time of year in Alberta — the first real stretch of warm evenings, rodeo season is almost here, calendars quietly filling with weddings, patio nights, fundraisers, and all the events that seem to arrive with spring and summer.
And while Smithbilt has always been known for hats, there’s an entire side of the store people still haven’t fully discovered.
We’ve been carefully building a large collection of clothing that feels like an extension of the lifestyle so many of us already live here — pieces that work for rodeo weekends, summer events, lunches downtown, and evenings that start casual and end somewhere unexpected.
Elevated western, thoughtful fabrics, good tailoring, beautiful textures, and the kind of pieces you reach for over and over.
This season especially, the store is full of it.
Styled by Smithbilt, worn for wherever spring and summer decide to take you next. 🤍
