help me find a rabbit-fur cap for Mrs Piper

Mrs Piper used to have a very cute white rabbit fur cap, but lost it.

I’m trying to find an on-line source to buy her a new one, but I’m not very well-versed in google-fu.

The cap was brimmed and small; not like a big Russian cap.

Any ideas?

Any of these fit the bill? Rabbit Fur Hats

Take a trip to the 1970s?

Thanks, but no - I found those.

I’d say it’s more of a peasant-cap style. (I’m not sure of the correct term.)

Can you find an image with google that at least has the right shape? If you can get the shape illustrated for us, it will be easier to find if we can find one in the right material.

Good idea.

Sorta like this (but without the goatee and mustache accessories :wink: )

By googling ‘laborer cap’, I got this.

Is a newsboy cap close enough to that?

There are some rabbit-fur newsboy caps listed for sale, but you might have to look into something special-ordered.

I bought a man’s rabbit fur hat for my dad here http://oldtownspring.com/gallery-2/ a couple of years ago. IIRC, they had a selection of fur hats for women as well.

How about this This item is unavailable - Etsy
or this http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/151879221579?ul_noapp=true&chn=ps&lpid=82

(I find it having a bill makes for an ugly lady’s hat… I prefer a beret, myself.)

Too big?

I sent you a PM, Northern Piper.

A wolverine mountain man hat. For the person who has everything…

I have bought their ear muffs. I like that they use domestically trapped fur. I get coyote muffs, and while I feel bad for the coyotes, they are pests and someone needs to keep the population in check.

I should get a trooper hat from them. That would help a lot on the worst of the winter days up here.

These guys do custom work. Probably not in time for Christmas, but if you can describe it, they can make it for you. I know them only by reputation though, never used them myself, so caveat emptor.

The one with the grey poof on the right is really cute.

This looks yummy!!

I’m really curious about the shape you’re describing. Is this the style? Free Trapper Hat.

Wolverine hat guy reminds me of the Bear Man from the Coen Bros.’ True Grit.
