Wildthings Fur

After years of checking out their booth at Cranberry Fest and kicking myself for not buying that warm beaver hat while freezing my ears off over the winter, I had to stop in.
What a neat store! I’m finding it difficult to accurately describe, but it definitely has a fur trapper theme.
If Willy Wonka made all things fur instead of Candy, this would be his place.
I never knew that there could be so many choices for a warm fur hat. I even started to relive my youth with trying on Davey Crocket and Daniel Boone coon skin hats. When I finally decided on a natural beaver trooper, they made sure it fit and customized it with adding a toggle to make it easier to use the ear flaps. The hat fits perfectly, and to insure it lasts many years they included a nice hat box too!
The shop is hard to find and may fool even your best GPS. Don’t worry, they are used to people getting lost and give excellent directions.
So, when your in Wisconsin and need a warm hat give them a visit. They even have an excellent website if you want to shop from the comfort of home.

Wildthings is a pretty neat place if you aren’t anti-​fur. Many of the pieces in there are locally trapped, ranging from sheepskin to rabbit to fox to bobcat (like I hinted, if you don’t like the fur industry, you won’t like this place). Whether you’re looking for some warm slippers or a fur bra-​thing, it’s there. They had a vest that I was rather tempted by which I was only saved from by the price tag and the thought of the hell I’d get at school. Purses, seat covers, ear muffs, gloves, blankets, lots of neat things, many at reasonable prices. Don’t get me wrong, there are some issues I have with the fur industry depending where the fur comes from, but I don’t believe these animals are cruelly managed at the hands of Wildthings nor hunted in a way that puts any of the species at risk. As I mentioned, some hunters bring in their own pelts to be made into something (as everything is made on site in their little workshop), others are provided other ways. Not exactly an in-​your-​usual-​driving-​course-​way, but if you happen to be local, take a peek.
