: Are the qualities the same as "regular" fur felt?---i.e. steaming to shape, what makes it shrink, cleaning, etc.

The "X" rating is supposed to be the quantity of beaver fur felt, which is more water repellent, just higher quality in general.

I have been told that X ratings differ from manufacturer to manufacturer. Some shoot high and others low. I'm not sure if there is a universal measurement to determine the quantity of beaver fur, or if there is a test to do on a completed hat to determine the amount.

Rest assured that the Peters Bros, is a great hat though, well worth the money, and Joe will make you feel very re-assured on the phone.

Hope this helps,

John D
