Hat making question...?

Post by Indiana Green »

So I was browsing hatsupply.com and looking at raw felt bodies and I discovered three different things: Men's dress bodies - $42.25, Fur felt capelines - $22.75, and Long hair Rabbit capelines for $49. What exactly is the difference? I've heard of hatmakers on COW using "dress bodies" and from what they say on the website, "long hair" is the best and used to be called beaver (until there wasn't any beaver :? ) So anyway, if anyone could shed some light I'd appreciate it!

I think the best would to be is to contact them and ask. Some use terms in different ways. I found out that some use pettersham and grosgrain as if it's the same thing. It's not.
