Beaver felt

Beaver fur has been a valuable resource for centuries, prized for its dense under-fur, which is ideal for producing high-quality felt—especially for hats. This historical demand led to extensive trapping, significantly reducing beaver populations in some regions by the 19th century. Today, responsible management practices help sustain beaver populations while preserving their ecological role in creating wetlands and supporting biodiversity. As natural ecosystem engineers, beavers play a vital role in maintaining healthy habitats for diverse wildlife.

We collaborate with FEPSA, a renowned felt manufacturer in São João da Madeira, Portugal, known for producing premium hat felts. Our beaver felt is sourced through trusted suppliers who prioritize ethical and sustainable practices, including partnerships with Canadian producers. We are committed to working with materials that align with our values of quality, craftsmanship, and respect for their origins.

The felting process involves compressing and vibrating animal fibers under heat and water—a traditional method practiced for thousands of years.

We remain dedicated to using materials that reflect our commitment to quality and craftsmanship. For further questions or additional details, please feel free to reach out.
