I didn't save the links. You can find those sites fairly easily by just searching under beaver felt, beaver hats, hatters, etc. I got tired after 30 minutes of searching and then editing my post to add new ones. Now, regarding pure beaver. The only problem with modern beaver felt is it is a medium weight, and that is the thinnest you can find. If you could find some around 1.2 mm or so, this would be perfect. Serratelli is a major supplier for the pure felt as well as various x blends, and has fedora grade beaver felt with minimum stiffener. It is just a mite too thick if you are looking for the lightweight summer felt. A shame. The only alternitive would be to get the med. weight and sand it down a few mms. Hmm. Now that is an idea I might try. :fedora:
