Method of manufacturing a fur hat using tail fur

摘要

A method of making a fur plate includes cutting lengthwise at least one elongate animal tail skin having fur to form a plurality of split tail pieces, and cutting at least one of the split tail pieces to form a plurality of short tail pieces. A plate backing material form is provided by a tongue of backing material having a pair of sides which form a long dimension, and a pair of ends which form a short dimension, the ends comprising a proximal end and a distal end. A split tail piece is attached to the tongue along each of the sides and layers of short tail pieces are attached to the tongue adjacent to the distal end. To make a hat, a plurality of fur plates are attached to the crown of a hat shell by attaching the proximal ends of the tongues to the crown so that the tongues overlap and form a ring bounded by the fur on the sides.
