I'm setting myself to task of getting two bears this year. One of the hides I would like to have one turned into a wearable piece similar to King Jaffe Joffer' lion piece. Can any of the tanners in the area make a piece like this?

I think the members of HuntWA would love you to video the conversation that you have with the taxidermist when you walk in to his shop to request this. :chuckle:
I'll be interested to hear what they come up with... My guess is that this will be the most expensive garment you own (unless you have two matching pieces of Sitka gear and consider them one garment... :rolleyes:)

Are you going commando ,just the bear sash.
Or is it going with some other garmets.

Now that's some funny chit right there!! A hair on tan is almost what your after, with little work done on the head.

Hey now!
HW isn't the proper place to talk about a secret fetish :yike:

I don't know about the sash idea but I thought about a bear coat, possibly a vest. I spoke to Amanda Platoni at Harts Lake Trading Post, ( Amanda makes fur garments) and she said it would take two matching bears to make a coat.

I’ll try both and send you some pics. Let me know how I look. :)

That sounds right to me.

I have a suit that I bought for when the President of China visiting the area and I had to attend one of the events. Wasn’t cheap. It still fits. :)

I think you should make one with the bears head covering the groin area like a loin cloth. :chuckle: :chuckle:

:yeah:
Or you could get a custom-made moleskin thong from @rasbo or have @PlateauNDN show you how to adorn yourself using the skin as a breechclout. :dunno:

Make it so you can hide your hand in its mouth and do the Muppets

I had the bear hide vest idea years ago. Obviously not bear hide but the wife found this material and made this for me. The backing of the material is almost like carpet backing and it is warm as hell. Worn it for years and find myself picking "hair" out of my mouth all day long. Cue the laughter
-
I’d almost wager that Saylean has something like that. :chuckle:
-
I have a half dozen 2-3 year old bears hair on tanned. If it takes two for a jacket I might be able to get a whole suit made. :chuckle:
Probably wouldn’t wear that though. But I would sport a hat or a vest around every once in a while. Might have to look into this
-
Its silent and really warm. I'd think actual tanned hide would be waterproof but really heavy when it rained

But wearing a thirty pound hide jacket will make you go slower and reduce your odds of being seen!

What the dog doing?
I see what looks like some really monster antlers in a photo in the background. What’s the story on that?

Like the idea ,I do get in a hurry sometimes. :chuckle:

I got really drunk last Halloween and was walking around the house with skivvies and a bear pelt hung over my head. Does that count?
-
I like the super powers those vests give you. Put one on and you can stand on the ceiling! What more could a person want :chuckle:
Well, besides being warm while doing it.

My Akita, Sara, is just chillin while chewing on her toys. I've got a bear skin over my shoulder and that's the leg ....on the table is an elk "statue" and a blurry pic of me laying on my moose :dunno: My euro moose mount is over my other shoulder but i ican't see that in the pic. Dust can is also on the table as the wife was interrupted to take the pic (don't know why she was standing on her head though)

Id like to have some bearskin pants made :chuckle:
