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? ---

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. ---

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/](http://oldtownspring.com/gallery-2/) a couple of years ago. IIRC, they had a selection of fur hats for women as well. ---

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 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. ---
