What are beaver hats called?
1 Answer

Beaver hats that were felted from beaver fur exclusively were termed castor. If the hat was partially beaver fur and partially some other type of fur, they earned the term demi-castor. Further confusing the issue, the hat would also be named based on its shape. On 1stDibs, find a collection of authentic beaver hats from some of the world’s top sellers.
