The Difference Between Rabbit and Beaver Fur Felt Hats
The Difference Between Rabbit and Beaver Fur Felt Hats;
How to Decide Which is Right for You
After we discussed the differences between wool felt hats and fur felt hats in our previous article, it’s time to dive deeper into the world of fur felt and explain why beaver fur felt hats are considered the gold standard. Below, we’ll explore the key distinctions between rabbit and beaver fur felts, so you can choose the perfect hat from our premium collection.
Beaver Fur Felt Hats: The Ultimate Investment
When it comes to quality, beaver fur felt hats are unmatched. Known for their durability, water resistance, and luxurious texture, beaver felt hats are an investment that can last for generations. At Outback Traders, we take pride in offering high-quality beaver felt hats, perfect for those who want something built to stand the test of time.
Why Choose Beaver Fur Felt:
- Weather resistance: Beaver felt is naturally water-resistant, allowing the hat to maintain its shape and integrity through heavy rain, snow, and harsh outdoor conditions.
- Luxurious texture: Soft yet durable, beaver felt provides a high-end look and feel.
- Long-lasting: With proper care, a beaver felt hat can become a treasured heirloom, passed down through generations.
Our Beaver Fur Felt Hat Selection
While our premium beaver hats rival those of big-name brands like Stetson, we also offer a wide range of "X" ratings to suit different needs and budgets. For those unfamiliar, the "X" rating refers to the percentage of beaver felt used in the hat—the higher the number, the more beaver fur in the felt, and the higher the quality and durability.
At Outback Traders, we offer 10x, 20x, 30x, and 50x beaver fur felt hats, including some of our most popular styles like the Outback King and the Statesman. These hats offer a balance of quality and price, making them accessible to all types of hat enthusiasts.
For those looking for the finest quality available, Tacchino Hats offers a 100x beaver fur felt hat, which is considered one of the most luxurious hats on the market. The difference is noticeable in the softness, weather resilience, and long-lasting performance of a 100x beaver felt hat.
Beaver Fur Felt vs. Rabbit Fur Felt: The Key Differences
While rabbit fur felt hats are a great entry-level option due to their affordability and wide range of colors, they simply can’t match the longevity and weather resistance of beaver felt. Rabbit felt is softer and more susceptible to losing shape in wet weather, making it less suitable for outdoor wear in harsh conditions.
In contrast, beaver fur felt is far more durable and can handle everything from light rain to heavy storms without losing its shape or quality. For anyone looking for a hat that can be worn year-round and withstand the elements, beaver felt is the superior choice.
Caring for Your Beaver Felt Hat
One of the benefits of investing in a beaver felt hat is that it requires very little maintenance. Its natural water resistance keeps it in great shape for years. However, a light brush-down to remove dust and proper storage will keep your hat looking fresh for decades.
