Anybody point me in the right direction? Thanks...
-
What type? the most common hat worn during the RMFT era was a low crown wide brim hat made of wooll or fur felt (fur is best) in black, drab, or white/natural.....
-
Thanks, that's a start...I may make a cameo appearance at a rondy later in the summer and need something suitable. Think I'm familiar with the hat you describe, and will have one eventually, but would like any other ideas as well...
-
Dead critter? Or a wolf-ear hood - Best bet would be the wide brim low crown felt job though.... Might find one at a rondy - I think Crazy Crow has 'em as well....
-
I have some of these hats, not sure on the sizes i have, they are at home im at work..

I have them less then crazy crow with shipping. i'll have to check the price also.
I also have a few Bridgers and whats called the santa fe, i think its the high crown one
-
I'd like to see as many options as possible...plus, any thoughts from the guys in the know on the one shown...animal version may come later.
Actually, the one I like the most is the one I don't think you can buy anywhere. It's the one that has the appearance of wolf ears, with flaps coming down over the ears. I'll have to see if I can find someone to put one together sometime.
-
I got one - it didn't come out good... Someone was selling them (that's the wolf-ear hood I mentioned)
-
Gotchya, but I've never seen anyone peddlin 'em...
-
Might take me a day or two - gots som other bisniss to attend to...

You might want to check out this site Alaska Spirit Crafts (http://www.alaskaspiritcrafts.com/) She makes fur mountainman and other fur hats.

I just made a wolf ear hood this week. Used an old wool Navy blanket, pattern from the Sketchbook, and took half an hour to sew using a blanket stitch. Tried it out on the dogs...........they did not recognize me, and the younger one went on attack. The ears obviously work as a disguise. I will try it hunting this fall.

Yeah, my guess it's a cold weather option. I'd love to see a picture of it, preferably parked on yer head...

Here are the first two Wolf Head Hoods from last week. The grey one, and first is from a felted wool blend disaster blanket, whilst the second is from an old Navy wool blanket. I do not normally look this serious..must be from holding the camera, and taking my own photograph.
