Sheila Kirkpatrick

Year Inducted: 1992

Home State: MT

Sheila makes custom cowboy hats the same way hatmakers did a century ago. Using antique tools and methods, she hand shapes each hat. Growing up as the daughter of a rodeo announcer, Sheila saw a lot of rodeos and cowboys, and their hats. With her accumulated knowledge and an interest in hats that goes back to her childhood, she preserves a bit of the old West each time she turns a out a new hat.
