This hat I bought at a fur store in Niagara By the Lakes in Canada. I bought it with a matching coat and Chinchilla trim. The hat has a tiny matching fur ball decoration on it. The inside label says it’s an original made by Sable. I am thinking the store was called, Shaws or Sable. I don’t remember. But it is sheared female mink and is the softest fur hat in the world, I think!!!
