I bought my wife a quivut hat. Quivut is muskox wool and is considered the finest and warmest cashmere in the world. She can wear that hat at 40 below with out a chill. I would really like a seal skin hat but I think I'll wait till I shoot my own muskox and have my own hat made.
My go to ice fishing Tuk is a Beaver/Otter fur hat..Russian Style...my son has a Coon /Fisher combo Russian style.....warm as toast...has to be 20 or colder to wear them. It's even better we trapped the animals ,skinned them and sent them out for tanning...and had USAFOXX make the hats. Quite a journey...but worth it. Anyone else rocking the fur ??
I've just gotten into furbearer trapping, and one of those hats is first on the list when I get a couple large coons. My wife wants a scarf, so told her she would have to wait till I get some martens or something with short fur.Mittens are on the high priority list as well, for both of us. Me for ice fishing, her for everyday use. She's ALWAYS cold.How did ya like the USAF&F quality, turn around time, etc....? We are looking at using them as well.

Just Mad Bomber real rabbit fur, one canvas and one deer skin. I worn that canvas one for about 15 years before it simply fell apart from rot. Damn I miss that hat. That was my favorite.
