Italian fur hat
« on: February 20, 2014, 02:55:15 pm »
Bought this hat for 10 bux at the antique store. Any idea what it is? The fur is pretty thick and the hide seems from a bigger animal

     If it was from China, I would say "Rover".  It could be from one of the bigger breeds of rabbits, like the Belgian, and that could be why it is a thicker hide, or maybe it could be the hide of a Chamois.  Never seen the fur or hair on one, so I don't know what it looks like.  Just guessing here.  Could be some Alpine ibex, or goat type of critter.  Or it could be an Italian "Rover-eti" ::) :P :P

    It does look like Coyote fur though.  Well it should make good string silencers.   Plus you could make some ear muffs. ;) :) Yeah, I always check the thrift stores, and such for leather purses, and high boots, for the leather, and I got a great hand bag that is now my possibles bag for my BP stuff.  Plus I didn't have to do much to it, to fit in with that period.  Just removed the brass clasp, and replace it with an antler button, and string loop. ;)

Just a guess here but that looks like badger to me, out of all the coyotes I've shot I've never seen one with brown underfur like that, coyotes underfur is always grey while badger is often brown.

The under fur is white. The longer fur is a grayish brown. If I bend it it's like a light yellowish white. I'll post another pix tomorrow
