Does anyone have any experience with the 160g dress weight 100% beaver felt from the Millinery Warehouse? I wonder how they compare.
Good afternoon I’m in search of a place to acquire beaver or nutria long hair bodies commonly referred to as grizzly any help is greatly appreciated

Made this hat with their 230g beaver it was very nice to work with not very stiff
Have you compared it to a sunrise nutria 160g dress weight?I have a 230g beaver hat, but not a but not a 160g dress weight. I have one of the 160g bodies with a hatter but not a finished hat.
I use both their rabbit and the beaver in 160gr dress weight. Really like them. The dye penetration/quality control is good. They are a little on the stiff side but then they are 160gr. They can be pounced down quite a bit, thinned out and produces a softer hand on a hat or leave them thick. Either way works well.View attachment 576359

I don’t know of anyone offering melusine hat bodies. Tonak did offer them and Agnoulita sold them, but it’s seen a while since I’ve see one. You might see if Mr. P has any available.
I have never come across a supplier selling beaver felts in a long hair finish. My suppliers did sell velour and melusine but only in rabbit felts. Millinery Whse is phasing out their velours I think. Agnoulita used to sell rabbitvelours but I don't buy from him any longer. It is possible to create a long haired finish from a standard beaver felt by how you pounce it. But it takes a while to master it.Good afternoon I’m in search of a place to acquire beaver or nutria long hair bodies commonly referred to as grizzly any help is greatly appreciated

Not that long ago I was paying $70...damn. Agnoulita has increased his price for the Tonak rabbit by quite a bit in the last year. The FEPSA rabbit felts are OK but if I buy in quantity I can get the 115gr Ukraine beaver for $155.Pure Beaver Hat Supply just increased the price of their 120g bread weight rabbit fur felt from $92 to $125. That’s a pretty big jump. Oddly, it didn’t coincide with the arrival of felt and they only have one color available; the same as the last several weeks.
