Here are some examples of the hats that I handstitch from either my own tanned furs or from yours! Please email me at skyeskyegoode@gmail.com if interested or have any questions! Please note that this is a hobby that I do in my "spare time", therefore my turnaround times can vary depending on hunting/trapping seasons and my work schedule!
I do not have an official website to order from, but rather you can visit my facebook page: Bearfoot Furs
Update 01/09/2024: I was recently made aware that I haven't updated this page in a while. Below is the copy and pasted summary that I have on my facebook page:
FAQ's and Price List: PLEASE READ BEFORE MESSAGING, as your question might be answered below:
-We DO NOT do any tanning ourselves and WILL NOT accept your green/frozen furs.
-At this time, we DO NOT make vests, mittens, scarves, dresses, or any other type of clothing other than headwear.
-I have plenty of tanned pelts in stock myself, but if you would like to buy your own pelts to be made into hats, I recommend www.fntpost.com or www.glacierwear.com for larger companies, but encourage you to buy from a local trapper during this low market period.
-I will NOT accept any pelts that are poorly tanned at home unless they are exceptionally done, which is rare. I will not accept any pelts that have been tanned using the "orange bottle" or if they are greasy, stiff, or have a wet dog smell.
-Turnaround time from when I receive your fur to when I ship your finished hat is currently 12 weeks.
-No we don't have a website; just Facebook. I do not accept phone calls, email/messages only please.
-I DO NOT do any type of head taxidermy or soft mounts.
-Depending on the condition, we may be able to take older pelts, such as vintage fur coats or shawls, and turn them into hats if you so desire.
-Prices vary so greatly depending on each style and species. Some species of fur, for example fox, are so thin that they require me to take a couple extra steps prior to sewing that are very time consuming. In the same respect, thicker species, like beaver, also have a couple extra steps prior to sewing, therefore the price of labor could be higher.
-Down payments are non-refundable. If you do not pay in full when your hat is finished, it will be sold to the public.
-The “universal fit” for trapper style hats is for adults with a head circumference of 22-24”, so be sure to mention sizes outside that range for a better custom sizing. All other styles will require a head size prior to making.
Generally speaking, here is a basic price list that is VERY subject to change, again, depending on your wants/needs. Prices do not include shipping. Pelts must be professionally soft/garment tanned to be acceptable for sewing.
