                                        Fur Pillbox & Davey Crockett Hat Supplies

●      Prime pelts (to ensure softness and longevity, professional garment/soft tanned pelts are recommended)

●      Pelt size and quantity needed will vary based on species, pelt size, and hat size

●      General Guidelines for Pillbox and Davey Crockett Hats

●      If you’re making the Davey Crockett hat, make sure the face of the pelt isn’t damaged

●      Beaver 1 Medium pelt

●      Coyote 1 Large pelt

●      Otter 1 XL pelt

●      Raccoon 1 XL pelt

●      Fox: 1 XL pelt

●      Muskrat: 2 XXXL + 1 Large pelt

●      Skunk: 3 Large pelts

●      Lining fabric: polyester fleece is recommended, ½ yard will line 2 or more hats depending on size 

●      Non-stretch fabric to sew test hat, upholstery fabric works well ½ yard will make 2 or more trial hats depending on size 

●       “Hudson 43 Velvet Multi Purpose Home Decor Fabric 55″ wide” is my favorite fabric for testing size, but any heavy weight non-stretch fabric will work 

●      Thread

●      Hand sewing thread

●      Polyester or nylon upholstery weight thread, such as Coats & Clark Upholstery Thread, bonded nylon size #46  or similar

●      Fur machine sewing thread

●      Whatever works well in your machine. I like New Bedford Glazed Cotton, size 80 for beaver and otter, size 100 for coyote, and size 120 for fox  . All-purpose polyester thread may also be used in the fur sewing machine as a lower-cost alternative.

●      Home sewing machine thread

●      All-purpose polyester thread – if using a home sewing machine to sew the lining.

●      Needles

●      Hand sewing

●      Glovers needle size 003  or similar

●      Optional: Sharps hand sewing needle size 007  or similar to sew lining
