I'm really interested in the production processes of fur felt for hats. There is a lot of information throughout this forum on felt production such as the Winchester tour video and the old Stetson film that is I believe from the 1920's. A lot of the detailed processes can be fairly hard to find...
Sources for unblocked felt
I've tracked down a few online sources courtesy of Google, but none of them appear (at first glance) to carry that great of a product. Is there a place that makes higher quality hoods or capelines available to 'Joe Schmoe'? I'd like to get as close to Akubra as...

If you've got a quick hat question and don't see a thread for it, just post it here. Whether the question is about cleaning, anatomy of a hat, brands, etc., this is the place.
Here's one to break the ice.

Hello guys!
I’m looking for a few hat bodies that are 100% beaver. I’m looking for a few that have a larger brim. I have talked to Winchester and they aren’t taking any new orders right now. I’m willing to order soon. Thanks for all your help!
