More than once I think Looks like it's 20% off right now ... "only" $1260! Still way too expensive, but I sure would love to have one

Is it genuine fish fur?

A couple years back, Dobbs did make a wool fedora with fold out earmuffs. It was actually executed very well and had it not been wool, I might have bought it for all those terribly cold Chicago winter days.

No, but it can be supplied with a gills-bow.

Josh: In my "native" climate we see days, where things like this would be very comfortable. I guess you guys had a taste lately ... not that fun for the ears

VERY true, its gotten very dangerous lately to leave ears uncovered for too long. A few years ago I wasn't careful and on a day with windchills in excess of -40 degess below zero, I got frostbite on my left ear. It was pretty bad, but thank goodness I made a full recovery. Unfortunately my left ear is very sensitive to the cold now.

- and loosing my ears would leave me blind! I would drop my glasses all the time lol

Happy to hear, you got through with all body-parts intact. One can live with hightened sensitivity (though darned annoying), it could easily have been a lot worse!

I wear 180's with my hat...had to this morning to feed the stock at 9 degrees F...
I've seen earflaps that attach to the sweatband but like the 180's better... mine didn't come with speakers...

Thanks, Ole. I was VERY relieved once the redness and blisters had gone away and I still had my ear. :whoo:

It was 9 degrees in Georgia this morning?? Wow, I would have thought it would have been much warmer than that. It was only about 2 degrees in Chicago this morning. I do have a pair of 180's and wear them quite often, but I find that they bump against the underside of my brim? It makes the hat sit higher on my head and then I am always worried about the Windy City wind taking my hat from me. Do you have that issue as well, Tom?
