Black Bear/Sea Otter Trapper Style Hat for sitting in deer stands or styling in town

[yhc]

I have a like new black bear trapper style hat with Sea Otter fur on the inside flaps/neckline and forehead areas for sale. $500 TYD anywhere in the US.

I purchased it a year ago, wore it a couple times during short walks. I have one too many trapper style hats so decided to put the newest one up for sale. It's a high-quality product made by a reputable Alaskan native furrier. It's very warm, perfect for sitting in deer stands or styling in town. My US Hat Size is 7 1/2 and it fits me well, but I suspect it will accommodate US Hat sizes 7 3/8 to 7 5/8 as well.

If you’ve really got sea otter fur on that hat I would check the laws regarding it before I went any further with the sale. That is a VERY protected species.

Sea Otter fur is used frequently in hats, trim for coats, gloves etc. here in Alaska. I am not aware of any laws prohibiting possession and transfer as long as it originated with Native hunters and was used in a product fashioned by them. We need more sea otters killed, they are decimating the shellfish in a lot of areas.

That’s very interesting on the numbers, I thought also how could it have Sea Otter fur in a commercial product.

I collect skulls & would love a Sea Otter, do you know if one can be bought from a Native trapper legally ?

Cool (warm) hat, be great setting in freezing hunting stands/blinds or Ice fishing ?

Good luck with the sale !

Yep there were tons of them where we ran our boat. Highly illegal to kill them unless you’re a native. I’ll take your word for it on the possession of native harvested otter. Personally I would want documentation.

Especially when crossing state lines or using the post office.

@roklok - I’m skeptical because the satin quilted lining on that hat appears to be commercially made and Sea Otter has Not been legal for many decades — if it really is Sea Otter. I know Sea Otter is the densest fur ever - more hair folicals per square inch then any other mammal, a truly superior fur vs Beaver, mink, muskrat, or river otter…but that does not appear to be a man made—-native made fur hat…at least Not.to my UNtrained eye.
