beaver hat
Trapper's prized chapeau
A beaver hat is a hat made from beaver fur, particularly the dense, water-resistant underfur felted into a durable material.
These hats dominated European and American fashion from the 17th through 19th centuries, driving the North American fur trade.
The term now appears mainly in historical contexts: The gentleman wore a tall beaver hat.
