Here is the link to the thread for the Churchill Beaver/Vicuna 100. This hat was a Neiman-Marcus offering in response to the postwar hundred dollar hat category that included offerings from Stetson, Resistol and many Hat Corporation of America brands. The amount of vicuna wool in the felt is unstated - with the rarity and price of the material, one might guess it to be very small. The feel of the felt is unusual - very fine and soft, even though the hat overall is quite stiff. There are some photos on the thread comparing the hat to a Stetson 100 that I had at the time.
Though I know we do these things routinely, it is hard to imagine killing these animals for their pelts. Probably the closest we come to killing the goose that lays the golden egg.
