<h3>Biltmore Beaver Pelt Felt Hat</h3>
The use of felt in the production of this hat harkens back to a high point in the success of Biltmore Hats in the Ward. Biltmore, in 1953, accumulated enough capital to buy out their supplier Lancashire Felt on the corner of York and Morris and rebuilt the building to accomodate expanded production.
