I've been looking at pictures and researching the Mongolian Eagle hunters for close to 4 years now. I've always admired the hats that they wear, and have discovered that there's really not a set pattern to make one, nor is there a pattern available anywhere (that I've found) on the internet. Additionally, there's only one other person, that I've seen, that makes these, other than purchasing from overseas, where they use fake fur in their hats. Traditionally, and even today, real fur is used.

I've recreated the pattern, as best I could, just from browsing photos of the Eagle hunters. As I make more, I'm sure I'll tweak the pattern, or make different versions of it.

This particular hat is made with burnt orange suede on the outside, mink fur (from a repurposed coat) and beaver fur.
