    Mrs. Boss Cowboy hat in Pure beaver belly.

Ours has a wider brim with a drover style to it. Shown in 100% natural color Belly Beaver fur felt. Originally the term "silver belly" referred to the belly fur of the beaver. By the mid 20th century it came to only identify a specific color. Belly Beaver Fur Felt is the thickest and densest of the beaver hat bodies. Virtually waterproof, it consists of 100% belly beaver fur blended with felt to produce a strong hat body very soft to the hand.
