Okay, so I shoulda known something was up when I looked at reviews on their site… but FurHatWorld.com doesn’t post any reviews that are less than 5 stars… Yeah… it’s complete crap, so this is the review that I tried to submit for a rabbit fur ushanka Rose bought for me last winter. I should be able to get it replaced… but it is still very frustrating when a company covers up legitimate reviews of their products to deceive people about the quality of their work.

When I first received this hat I was just as fascinated with it as many of the comments on here suggest. It seemed to be the perfect hat! It was warm no matter how cold it was, soft as a kitten, light weight, and the color was beautiful! It’s much better looking than any rabbit I’ve ever bagged in the wild. After about two weeks of constant wear (it seriously just about never left my head) it developed a small tear at a seam in the back. It was then that I noticed an inherent problem with these hats, and that is the tanning process. The hat is constructed in China (nothing wrong with that) the problem is that it is also tanned in China the rabbits are killed, skinned, and eaten in North America then the skins are frozen and shipped over to China where they are tanned. Making the process very difficult and most of the skin is worn away in order to remove the blood that soaks deep in during this process. It’s really a shame, it is such a beautiful, warm hat. Sending it back and getting a new one seemed pointless, besides I figured it was probably my wearing it in the car rubbing against the headrest as I drive that caused the blowout. So I stitched up the hole myself and decided to be very, very gentle with the hat. Since then just shy of a month has passed that I’ve owned the hat. Both ear flaps have torn at the bottom by the tie straps, and another tear is developing at the base of where the ear flap attaches to the rest of the hat.

I should be able to get it replaced… I’ll update here when we go through that process and I see how easy, or difficult it is to get the thing replaced. Or if they live up to their 1 year warranty that they claim. Since their site seems to be one big scam (from what I’ve found they claim huge discounts, but it looks like the products are manufacturer direct, they don’t allow bad reviews, or even moderately satisfied reviews) so we’ll see what it is like trying to get them to back their work.
