Yes, so far as I know, all genuine Boss Raw Edge hats are made of Nutria of one or another level of quality. (later changed because there were also beaver grades of the Boss) However, if they are some grade higher than Nutria Grade, such as Real Nutria or Clear Nutria, then they will have a different stamp that spells out that higher grade. Such a case of that is shown a page or so farther in the catalog, where they show and explain the stamp for Real Nutria Boss Raw Edge hats. There's several pages of Boss Raw Edge hats in the catalog. I can't recall if any were made of Beaver, but if so, I'd imagine they would have a stamp saying that. I just wasn't focused on Beaver hats when I was researching this. I don't have a copy of that Stetson catalog. All you have to do is do a search on the Lounge. Or you can Google 1900 Stetson catalog and scroll down to where it's shown on the Fedora Lounge. I would provide a link to it, but I don't know how to do that sort of thing.Thanks MiR.
I was hoping you would be kind enough to post your copy you obviously have privy to for the rest of the lounge as reference but ok.
So me not having the catalogue for reference what is Nutria Grade?
My understanding of what you are alluding to is that All Boss Raw Edge stamped hats are composed of Nutria fur in some form.
Not Clear, not Real but some composition of Nutria fur thus “Nutria hats” under the classification of Nutria Grade.
Do i have that right? Please correct me if wrong. I wouldn’t want others to be misinformed.
Thanks
