Re: MtMan-List: Canadian Cap & rabiit fur

["Matthew Hawley" <nastybeaver@hotmail.com>]

I don't know about the hat company. but the rabbit fur in moccasins i 
do. With the on set of winter the indians started making winter clothes 
so in order to keep warm they wanted fur. now rabbot fur is warm thick 
and very soft so they would make rabbit lined mocs or blankets or mitts 
to keep warm. hope this answears your ? ?
