To send your furs and order to us:

1. We only accept fully-tanned furs.

Congratulations, you have had a successful hunt!  Please send us your fully-tanned hides, as we cannot process raw hides. 

2. Plan your product.

You can browse our product pages, or contact us to plan a unique product!

3. Take your measurements (see instructions).

Along with your furs please send us your measurements:  Instructions

4. How many furs do you need?

Preferably send us too many rather than too few furs:  we will select the best and send the rest back to you with your finished product.  The better the furs, the better the product!

Here are some general guidelines, though note that there can be large variation due to pelt size and condition:

  • Trapper's hat (leather crown): 2-3 marten, 1 beaver, 1 fox
  • Full-fur hat: 5 marten, 1-2 beaver
  • Davy Crockett hat:  1-2 fox or Finn raccoon
  • Koivistolainen hat (leather crown): 2 marten, 1 beaver, 1 fox
  • Hunting mitts: 4 marten, 1-2 beaver, 2 fox

If you do not have sufficient fur, in some models we can replace some of the fur with leather.

5. Send your furs and information to us.

7.  Processing times and billing

Sewing time during our main season (November - April) is generally 1-2 weeks for fur hats and mitts.  However, we usually have a longer sewing queue before Christmas, so we recommend ordering Christmas gifts in good time.  In our experience, shipping within Europe (outside of Finland) can take 2 weeks, whereas shipping within Finland is about 2 days. 

Timelines to be negotiated for larger products (e.g. fur coats/vests/blankets) or orders during the summer.  

Billing:  When you product is ready, we will send you the invoice (payable through online banking).  Once your payment is received, we will place your package in the mail and send you the package tracking and any necessary Customs forms.  Please remember that you can speed up the process by emailing us proof of your payment.
