mmh yeah i see. What still does worry me is the felts quality. I read recently of a vintage poet that Fedora bought. I think he said it has a certain percentage of beaver, that's maybe the reason why the old HJ's Poets were much better quality hats than the actual ones.
The best choice now, in the XXI century, is to buy a beaver AB! Since we (actually Fedora did) discovered that the original HJ rabbits had a % of beaver I think the beaver AB is even more felt-accurate than the HJ rabbit hats they sell now i guess. Am i wrong?
Thanks for the link, i nearly forgot about that topic.
