Actually "Amadou" is a very common Name in Western Africa (Senegal, Gambia etc.)--Martin L. King 13:41, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I could not find any reliable sources to support the claim that it is used as a felt-like fabric used in the making of hats and other items. All I could find are forumposts and blogs. There is also a picture included in the article, but that is own work of the uploader. 143.176.216.29 (talk) 10:17, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reference. All information I have found so far is from a single Romanian hat maker who sells Amadou-hats online. I've looked into the book you referenced, but I'm not sure if the given source supports the claim. In his book, where he also cites Wikipedia as a reference, Greenberg writes that he has heared that Amadou is being used for hat making.
