American-made and never worn, real vintage 1980s Carhartt hat. The hat is in premium condition for its age and has been stored properly over the years.
The patch featured on this hat was painted by James Hautman of Chaska, Minnesota. At Age 25 he became the youngest wildlife artist to win the Duck Stamp Contest with this pair of black-bellied whistling ducks. In 1987, he placed third with a pair of bufflehead ducks. He is a native Minnesotan and an avid outdoorsman and hunter.
