Beaver Brand Hats Final Auction
I'm glad that Mike got a lot of the good stuff. I saw a picture with Graham from Optimo as well. I know he buys all types of stuff for his store. Now I wish I was there. Does anybody know if there were any wooden flanges there? I saw a lot of blocks but no flanges. -

Bailey Size Issue
Thats the problem with manufacturers, every style will fit differently. We send out hats all of the time and they come back because the are too big or small. There is no consistancy . You would think a size 7 1/8 would always be the same. Nope! -
This Made Me Feel Guilty About Wearing Fur Felt Hats
The truth is that most customers have NO idea thats hats are made of rabbit felt. When we tell them they think we are joking. Most people thibk hats are made of wool. Too bad no one can come up with a synthetic fur to replace rabbit and beaver felt.- besdor
