Smithbilt Hats

Corporations Canada lists Smithbilt Hats Inc as an active federal corporation, continued in 2006, with a Calgary registered office and Cam Clark of Airdrie, AB as director; the vendor's own about page names Clark as owner since 2003, following founder Morris Schumiatcher, his son Judah, and long-time employee Marshall Harvey. The registry does not publish an individuals-with-significant-control register for this filing date, so the exact ownership percentage is not confirmed, only that a Canadian individual controls it.

Smithbilt's own about page describes hat bodies being blocked, shaped, trimmed, and finished into completed hats at its Calgary facility by its production manager and finishing staff; madeinca.ca corroborates the manufacturing location as Calgary, AB. No registry or filing confirms the production location, so this rests on the vendor's own statement plus a directory listing.

Smithbilt states its fur felt hat bodies are supplied by 'craftspeople across the world' rather than made in Canada, but names no countries. Global fur felt hat body production is concentrated in the Czech Republic, Portugal, and Italy with meaningful volume elsewhere in Asia, so this mix is an estimate weighted toward Europe and other regions with none from Canada; the actual supplier countries could not be verified.
