Time For Hats & Mitts

A November chill is in the air…time to break out the cold weather gear!

We have two fur hats and four pair of mitts available – all handmade, all one-of-a-kind!
The furs were all ethically/sustainably acquired by Indigenous hunters; prepared and sewn by a Haudenosaunee craftsman. The wool for the mitts comes from vintage, Canadian manufactured, felted wool blankets – waste not, want not!

The first hat is made from a combination of Brush Wolf and Black Bear fur. unlined and suitable for any headsize up to about 24″ (standard hat size 7 5/8). Very warm in all weather! CAD $200

The mitts are all made from vintage, Canadian manufactured, felted wool blankets (a very warm & dense material) with fur trim. One exception are the Shearling mitts (Chocolate Brown) – made from tanned and clipped sheepskin, with the leather portion on the inside (keeping the damp and wet wicked away from your hands).
