There's one hat I'd really like to have.  It's the one that looks like it has wolf ears on it.  I've seen historical representations of it and even seen some pics on the web of mountain men that have 'em.  Never seen it available anywhere, though.
Regards, sse

That's because they are so simple to make.  You just have to have a blanket you are willing to cut up.  Hanson has a simple pattern for one in "The Mountain Man's Sketch Book Volume I".
