Real Fur Trapper Hat

[Pandabean]

I was hoping to get the Fjallraven Tur Heater hatt off of Ray's website, but I was wondering if there is anywhere in the UK that sells real fur/sheeps wool trapper hats at decent prices?

Also has anyone got any reviews of the Tur Heater?

Not quite sure what to do go for....

I picked up a nice rabbit fur one on eBay. Very warm and it's what I normally reach for on winter trips to Sweden / Norway.
Word of caution, obviously fur is useless in the rain.

What do you call " decent prices " & do you prefer the hat to be made of fabric or leather.?

I personally use a Canada Goose Aviator Hat when in the really really cold places of the earth, not cheap but very very worth it,

the link is hear

http://www.canada-goose.com/products-2/accessories/headwear-neckwear/aviator-hat/

it has a 625 power down filling to keep the old noggin warm and a coyote fur lining

By decent I meant around the price of the Fjallraven one or cheaper but still pretty good. As for what it is made of, fabric would be fine.

I was quite interested in this, even excited when I saw there was a stockist fairly close to me - and then I saw the retail price. £179.00 Aaarggh!

I got a rabbit fur lined one from here: http://www.furhatworld.com/aviator-bomber-hats-c-42_65.html last January....Norko is the make.

Cost about £30 delivered, took about a week and half to arrive...and good quality

I loved wearing my dads davy crockett hat, although funny looks on havin a tail led to is that real fur. The bart hat is just not the same.

I can't say if they're reliable or not (never dealt with them) but don't see why they wouldn't be. This is the first time I've heard of them but I certainly wouldn't hesitate to order from them if I was needing a new hat. I need to wear out the ones I have first! The thing is, here practically every store stocks fur hats for the winter months so there's no need for us to order through the mail.

we get some shops over here selling fur hats but the prices r stupidly high and they dont look half as good as the canadian ones plus the postage is as cheap as ordering from inside the UK.

I had one hat come through no problem, the second hat that also had some work gloves in the box got taxed, both were purchased when I was living in England. they are good quality products at a fair price i recon, but if your not sure which size I would recommend go larger as they are not over sized at all

So pleased I found this thread. Been after a fur trapper for ages with no luck! Going to order today and hope customs dont pick it up.

I misread the title, I read real trapper fur hat. www.trappern.se has real trapper hats. He's a real trapper and makes the hats himself with furs he has shot and prepped himself.

This may not go over well, but I would look for a seal skin hat. Its what the inuits here used in their mukluks. Also hard to find since greenpeace destroyed that way of life.
