Title pretty well says it all. I'd love to get into tanning and garment making at some point as a hobby, but for now I just barely have time to put them up. Recently, while doing ADC, I caught one hundred raccoons for a client of mine and he expressed interest in having a cap. So does anyone on here do that, or know someone reputable that does? Boco comes to mind, but there may be others.

These pepole have made me some hats from my own commercially tanned furs and they do a fantastic job.

I have had dozens of hats and mitts made by Wildthings Fur and have been happy with it all.
That said.....check out Darling Leather and Fur on Facebook. Rebecca makes some really high quality and unique fur products. She is currently working on a beaver blanket for me and from the pictures she has sent me, it is going to be awesome. She doesn't have a website but is on Etsy in addition to FB.

Eventually AKAjust, but actually for now I'm willing to pay someone to do it. I will bookmark your link for when I'm ready... THANKS!

Thanks for the input fellas, I'll check out Wild Things Fur and Darling Leather.

Anyone else have anything, please fire away! THANKS!

They made 3 coyote hats for me and they are excellent


There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness
