Care Instructions
You can purchase from me an "Eco Friendly Moth Repellent".

Remember fur is our friend and environmentally friendly. A fine natural product, fur is also biodegradable and a renewable resource - unlike polyester fake furs and other petroleum-based synthetics.

- Never store a fur in plastic bags. Use a cotton bag to store your fur.

- If your fur gets wet, shake it out like a shaggy dog and hang it up to dry in a place where air circulates. If your fur gets soaked be very careful with it. Do not try to speed the drying process with a hair dryer. Your fur has oils in it and doing this will dry the skin out.

- Never leave a fur near heat. It will dry the skin out.

- Never, never comb use your hand and fingers to lightly fluff the fur. (a bristle brush (dog or cat brush will also work on dry fur if you do it gently!)

- Moths love fur and wool. Do Not use moth balls.

- Natural products to use - My Eco Friendly Moth and bug repellent made of essential oils just for this use. 

- Store your fur during the warm season. Fur likes cool places.

- You can clean your fur by putting it in a bag with dry oatmeal or cornstarch, then shaking it vigorously. Then take the fur out and shake it and brush it out. The cornstarch or oatmeal will take the dirt particules and freshen it up.

- Have furs cleaned by a fur specialist, not a dry cleaner.

- Avoid leaving fur hanging in a bright place. The light can cause the fur to oxidize or change colour.

- To keep your hat fresh on the inside spray with fabreeze.

- If your hat is suede or leather on the outside you can use a leather or suede protector spray. Just be careful to follow the directions and to cover your fur completely before spraying.

- You can use Mane and Tail on your horse hair tassel to keep it tangle free. Use just a small amount.

- You can spot clean the top of your hat with mild soap and water. Never soak your hat. Brushing your hat before putting it away will help eliminate any impurities on the fur.

If you take care of your hat you will have it for many years to come.

Enjoy your new hat and if you have any questions please contact me.



 
Measuring Your Head


 
Take a measuring tape and place it above your brow. Measure from that point above the brow around your head. Measure exact for a tight fit. If you like it a little loser we can adjust it. You do not want a tight hat because it will give you a headache. Your hat will stretch because it is wool and leather. Faux fur will not stretch.
Let your imagination be your guide!
Creat your own custom hat! I can reproduce a hat you see on my webpage, and all hats are unique.

Pick your colour, material and fur type.

Fur and materials are dependent upon availability. If you want new pelts that will be an extra cost. The furs I deal with are recycled furs and I use only the best for my hats.
