Question

Doug Mackay’s tradition of gifting white examples of these objects led one to be depicted on Calgary’s flag. It’s not a musical instrument, but silent film star Ken Maynard almost always appeared with a white one of these objects, as did Gene Autry. The Carlsbad example of these objects added a crease not present (20[1])in the earlier “Boss of the Plains” model. A gift from George W. Bush began a collection of these objects by (*) South Sudanese President Salva Kiir. P·R·C·A athletes competing in events such (10[1])as breakaway roping often don this headwear. A man wears a brown one of these objects on one poster for The Searchers, a film directed by John Ford. For 10 points, the uniform of a Texas Ranger is topped by a Stetson or “ten-gallon” example of what objects? ■END■
