I see these fedoras made by a Polish company on Amazon for less than $100. The claim is: They are made of rabbit fur.
Any Lounger know about these hats?
Own one?

Search the Lounge. I know there is a thread here somewhere. One of the family even chimed in and gave a history of the company. Something about their grandfather finding a sewing machine in a ditch during WWII and building the business off it.

No idea how the hats are, though.


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

I own one. Bought it 2 years ago and wear it regularly. I live in the north US and wear it when it snows. Quality is average and if you are looking for the feel of a Stetson or Borsalino forget it. I consider it a Chevy hat. It beats wearing a baseball cap with a seed company logo on it. It's real fur felt and it's cheaply priced. You won't go wrong getting one if you intend to use it as a "work" hat. Looks wise, too me I'd wear it out to a fancy party, but that's me. As long as a hat looks good I'll wear it and personally it looks good to me. Hope this helps.

Don't own any but I hate them because they don't make my size. (7 5/8) :)

Otherwise I would give 'em a try at that price. If nothing else, it would be wearable for snow shoveling, leaf raking, and errand running.

Any pics for quality assurance?
