    Anyone know anything about this hatmaker Daquino?

    No telling because for US hatters the beaver fur pelts have to travel to Europe to be processed with Winchester getting bales of beaver fur back to make into felt bodies. Fepsa gets to make them there then ship to US hatters. She does get the benefit of skipping this last trip across the pond...
