This is another proof that fashion designers ever so often out to see how far they can push the envelope. That hat cannot but have been put together with any other purpose than to see how far a hot shit but vapid model is prepared to go while thinking he/she is making an important fashion statement.

It declare a fatwa against that hat. It is our sacred duty as gamers to slay that thing, spray it green and turn it to something table top.

Oh, I'm fairly sure that's not the product of any real fashion designer in the sense that you're thinking. It's the sort of thing that's marketed for ravers/club kids and wannabee "pick-up artists". Especially with the whole image: gold chain, "velvet" coat w/ cheetah print collar...

Pretty sure that was from a Halloween "pimp" costume.

THIS is a modern fashion disaster:

Have you tried Hobbycraft bud? The last time I was in there was rolls of the stuff!

Not sure where you are based but I bought a roll of teddy bear fur recently in Salisbury for a 6' x 4' table for about £25.00.  Link is here.

To save you a trip do not try The Range or Dunelm - neither stock it (Scunthorpe).

I found it in Boyes (long hair) and a local material shop - neither as cheap as I wanted to pay to try so gave up :-[

As for the statement:
I would have to "skin" a lot of teddy bears!!  :D


Where do I send the psychiatrists bill?  The thought of this upset the whole family (esp my sweet innocent daughter who at nearly 24 still loves hers more than me) and we need a serious amount of support and counselling.

You could write to Boris Johnson and ask where he got the piece he wears on his bonce. Thrifty and distinctive, albeit not very modish.

I got mine when a fabric shop closed down. It was half price and mint green, but still not cheap. I can't understand it, I mean if you're not using it for wargaming what else are you going to use it for?  :D
