I'm guessing you are right, and he isn't. It's quite common for uninformed people to describe an old fur felt hat as being made of wool. They're not lying, they just don't know any better. (Although you have to wonder why they would assume it is made of wool and not some other fiber. Could it be that they think wool is superior, and the hat seems superior, so it must be wool?)
