I presently have a grey fox hat being sewed up. As soon as it arrives, I'll be showing it off, tail on the back and all.

I've been wearing my muskrat cap for a couple of years now. One of my LO's got some fur from me to have some items made for his family. Working on putting up enough beaver for a blanket and mittens.
Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

We have alot of stuff made from fur, bed spread, vests , coats, mittens. Some of the newest stuff we had made. Always get commits on our fur, mostly good . Some negative when we go to billings.
Let me sugar coat this

Otter fur backed buckskin choppers with beaver cuffs and a muskrat trappers hat. All homemade and tanned by Moyles.

People see others wearing fur,and how good it looks and they want some.Then when they find out how toasty warm it is at 30 below zero they want more. Everybody wears fur on the lake at winter carnival watching the skidoo races and other events.

I agree ADC, but there is a LOT of fashion that doesn't make sense to me, outside of fur garments. To each their own. You won't catch me in skinny jeans or a track suit. I agree.

I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.

Great thread KSnow. We should all be wearing some fur. I have a muskrat trooper hat and I put a coyote ruff on the hood of my ice fishing jacket. My wife owns 3 coats and also various trim on garments. We just made a pair of booties for our granddaughter with fur trim on top. The more people that see it, the more they'll want it.
57 years trapping. It's who I am. Every day is still as exciting as it was when I was a kid but a little more work.

I agree completely. Most people don't realize how soft and warm natural fur is. And how bad fake fur looks.

There are a few fur items that look ok, but then there is a lot of it that to me just looks ridiculous. Likely makes you look like a weirdo in the eyes of a lot of people. I bought my wife a nice pair of beaver mittens, they look good and don't seem weird when she's outside in the real cold weather. A big messy fur hat with the animals face and all the dangling feet and such is just not for me. Coyote or coon ruff on a coat, ladies fur ear muffs or head band, fur backed mittens all make a nice statement and are perfectly 'normal'.. Here a lot of people wear fur but you really only see the face hats and such at winter carnivals etc, probably same at mountain man rendezvous I imagine.

It seems a lot of folks want to go full fur, which is fine when it's cold but for normal winter temps you want fur earflaps and front with some kind of cloth for the rest of the hat so it can breathe. Also fox or beaver is thicker and thus warmer than say muskrat which makes a great hat for cool temps.

There is a difference between a fur head dress and a fur hat. People wear fur head dresses at winter carnivals,and I wear a lynx head dress in winter when I go to the city. In the bush I wear something more practical,like an earflap hat. I have worked up about 20 different fur hat designs of my own.Combination hats can be a cross between something flashy and something practical.
