A good place to have a Beaver Fur top hat made would be Northwest Hats at 870 Pearl Street, Eugene, Oregon. www.northwesthats.com Last summer I saw a purple top hat Mike Miller fabricated last August 15th and it was beautiful! Mike was so proud of it that he beamed!

Call Mike or send him an email to begin the process, it will probably take a good 6 months to have it finished, so I would get right on it.

I have no idea who Mike Miller is, but I sort of imagine him looking like Willy Wonka.

No, Mike is a rather handsome gentleman that looks nothing like the late Gene Wilder. He was, however, proud of his handiwork of the custom Top Hat he had created for his customer. Mike is a great craftsman and his hat deserve recognition.
