I will supply your craftsmen with two or more large, color-matched beaver pelts, already tanned and broken soft with the hair on and ready to cut out and sew.

Thanks.

The treatment that you single-handedly developed to make waterproof, reversible beaver skins, was revolutionary, and you created exquisite, light-weight fur to leather garments, which have yet to be copied.
I’m sure your retailers are missing your unique way to handle the pelts from our National Rodent!
Very good explanation of the ecological side of fur, Renewable, Sustainable, and 100% natural.
