Canadian Grenadier Guards Bearskin Hat Dated 1964 Size 7

The Canadian Grenadier Guards Bearskin Hat dated 1964, size 7, is an original piece of military headgear associated with the Canadian Grenadier Guards, one of Canada’s oldest and most distinguished regiments. This item features the iconic tall, cylindrical shape made from real fur, historically worn as part of the regiment’s full dress uniform. Measuring approximately size 7, the bear skin hat includes its original black leather sweatband, requirements for a firm fit on parade. The 1964 date, typically found on the interior, indicates its period of issuance during the mid-20th century, when traditional ceremonial uniforms remained in regular use. Bearskin hats have long been symbolic of ceremonial functions, including official state events and guard duties. This particular example serves both as a historical military artifact and as a representative example of Canadian regimental dress from the postwar era. Overall condition and markings can provide further insight into regimental history and manufacturing details from this period.
