    Nutria report

    Nope. That was a question of cost in a beaver felt hat body = cost of pelts to travel to Europe to be processed & have fur bales travel back. All pelt processing facilities in America have been closed for years.

    Leather jacket length and untucked shirts..

    Sorry, no belt = looks odd tucked in to me, sort of naked belt loops. So if I'm not wearing a belt or suspenders, then I don't tuck in my shirt.

    Leather jacket length and untucked shirts..

    I've seen plenty of professional horse trainers riding with untucked t-shirts & baseball caps. Working cowboys, those throwing ropes & those working on the ground, usually are tucked in because they have knives on their belts or other things in their pockets they need to get to.
