Trapper Hats
Trappers hats are a classic choice for staying warm and stylish. When it comes to materials, you have a range of options to consider, each offering a unique look and feel.
Material Choices for Your Custom Trapper Hat
Trappers hats can be crafted from a combination of luxurious furs and durable leathers, or they can be made entirely of fur for ultimate warmth and a distinctive aesthetic.
Fur Options
For those who prefer an all-fur hat or a fur accent, the possibilities are vast. Popular choices include:
* Beaver: Known for its thick, soft, and incredibly warm fur, beaver is an excellent choice for extreme cold.
* Coyote: Coyote fur offers a rugged, natural look with varying shades of brown, grey, and cream. It's durable and provides excellent insulation.
* Raccoon: Raccoon fur is characterized by its long, guard hairs and distinctive ringed tail pattern. It's plush and offers a unique texture.
* Mink: For a touch of luxury, mink fur is exceptionally soft, lightweight, and incredibly warm.
* Rabbit: A more economical yet still warm option, rabbit fur is soft and comes in a variety of natural and dyed colors.
Leather Options
If you're looking for a hat that combines the resilience of leather with the warmth of fur, consider these leather types:
* Deerskin: Deerskin is incredibly soft, supple, and lightweight, making for a comfortable hat that ages beautifully.
* Moose or Elk hide: Similar to deerskin but often thicker and more durable, moose or elk hide provides excellent protection from the elements.
* Cowhide: A versatile and robust option, cowhide can be tanned in various finishes, from smooth and polished to distressed and rugged.
* Suede: For a softer, velvety texture, suede (the underside of animal hide) offers a sophisticated look and comfortable feel.
