Save your old hats to wear as a vintage fashion statement. A husband and wife team in Sweden is making men’s hats with a modern look by distressing rabbit and beaver fur to create worn-looking hats. Decorations are stitching and faded color from natural dyes. The handmade hats sell for about $800, many to celebrities. These Horisaki brand hats are sold in 16 countries. It reminds me of old Stetson cowboy hats sold at an expensive antiques show 10 years ago. The dealer got worn hats from working cowboys who traded them for new hats. His customers paid extra for the dirty, damaged, worn look.
