I have seen some pictures of otter hats worn by straight dancers. The best one show what looks like no top to it. My question is this normal or can the hat be made either way.
Thanks
If I understand what you are asking, I think the correct answer is that those otter caps you are referring to do not have a cover. I have seen many of these caps from different tribes and although they have some differing styles all seem to be open at the top. Perhaps there is someone out there who has seen some other way of doing it. Hope this helps
Thanks to everyone for replying. I think I saw a hat worn by eastern tribes.
I saw a picture of a fur hat many years ago. I think it was in Grey Owl catalog. It was covered with rabbit fur with mirrors or beaded rosettes with a feather on top. I think I have to do a little more research.

Well, as if I don't have enough other projects going right now I have decided to try my hand at silverwork. I have a ton of it that I need for new dance clothes for my family so I figured I should see if I am any good at it. I have been picking up a few tools and am waiting on some sheet metal to arrive...
Hey all.... OK, I saw an old photo of Bacon Rind and some other Osages.... of course Bacon Rind was wearing his familiar otter hat, but some of the other men (actually looked to be in their late teens) were wearing what might be called "skinny" otter hats or headbands - the fur was about...
