This leather hat was made in Cotacachi, Ecuador. Attached to the front and to the hat ribbon's ends are real alligator teeth. The teeth at the front is held by a deerskin strap threaded through the hat band.
We measure the inside circumference of the hats in inches. Sizes are approximate. To give you an idea of the size, a 23" circumference hat measured 15" long by 12" wide with a 12.5" long strap, and it weighed 0.56 pounds.
American alligators in the wild are protected under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. All of our alligator products come from ranches and are not taken from the wild. Chichester is registered with New York state as an authorized retailer, wholesaler, and importer of alligator products.
The teeth are from alligators that have been ranch-raised for food. The alligators were not killed just for their teeth.
Not for export due to CITES regulations.
