Men's hats made of muskrat fur are especially popular among both young men and respectable gentlemen. Muskrat fur is one of the most “universal”: men’s hats made from it are very light, wearable, and, most importantly, very warm!
Men's muskrat hats are also suitable for any occasion: if a men's hat, for example, made of fox, is more suitable for young people or for going hunting or on vacation, then muskrat hats, thanks to their fairly short, but expensive and stylish-looking fur, are suitable for any occasion .
So who are these animals - muskrats? The muskrat (or as it is also called the “water rat” or “musk rat”) is native to North America. North American settlers have long known about the valuable fur of the muskrat, and also ate its meat. Remember American spaghetti westerns: the most popular fur hats for men were made from muskrat and raccoon.
As a rule, muskrats weigh from one to one and a half kilograms and reach a length of 18 to 28 centimeters. Muskrat fur, which is used to make men's hats, consists of coarse guard hairs and soft undercoat. The color of the back and legs ranges from dark brown to black, but the belly is lighter, sometimes even gray or grayish-blue. Like many animals, the muskrat becomes lighter in color in the summer. The fur of this animal is very thick, dense and lush, which makes it waterproof. And this is one of the reasons why men's muskrat hats have become so popular. It must also be said that muskrats constantly monitor their fur: they lubricate it with fatty secretions and comb it.
Muskrats are herbivores; they feed on plants, which gives them another advantage for industrial breeding, for the subsequent production of men's muskrat hats. Of course, if possible, she does not disdain fish fry and frogs. Muskrats live in burrows and huts, almost like beavers, they live in families, and the entrance to the burrows is under water.
At the moment, the processing and manufacturing technologies for men's muskrat hats have undergone many changes, making it possible to paint men's muskrat hats in a variety of colors and improve the quality of the hats and their wearability. Of course, regardless of the manufacturing technology, the most popular model for many decades is the one with earflaps made of muskrat fur in combination with genuine leather. For our fathers and grandfathers in the Soviet Union, it was great luck to get a good men's muskrat hat, but nowadays there are no problems with this - you can buy men's muskrat hats in Fur Rainbow stores.
