Plucking disgusting? Coat made from human chest hair

 

Fur sale ... £2,499 coat made from chest hair

 

A JACKET made entirely from human CHEST HAIR has gone on sale.

The furry fashion statement, which costs £2,499, uses a million hairs plucked from mens' pecs.

 

 

Cravendale milk producers Arla foods are hoping it will turn people on to their new drink Wing Co, which they call "the manly chocolate milk for men with added man".

Man fuel ... Arla Food's solution to shaven-chests

But we hope it doesn't have a dampening effect on appetites.

It does go perfectly with the new leg-hair tights, tested out by the sun last week, for an all-over coat.

Unisex ... The coat can be worn by men or women

The only thing I'm curious about is how the "care and cleaning" instructions might read.

This appears to be yet another "solution in search of a problem" fashion item, although I have no doubt they'll be flying off the racks.

 

Hair-raising fashion! Would YOU pay £2,499 for a fur coat made from male CHEST HAIR- - Mail Online

The coat was commissioned by milk drink for men, Wing Co., as a protest against the widespread 'manning-down' of British men, typified by clean-shaven chests and emasculating fashion. 

The coat, which features over one million strands of male chest hair, took a team of fashion designers over 200 hours to create and carries a hefty price tag of £2,499.

Whilst this may be the first garment to be designed using chest hair, human hair has been a popular and wacky choice of material for years.

A Croatian company, Artidjana, once designed an entire dress with 165ft of blonde human hair.

And Thelma Madine's Nico dressmakers, which has featured on Channel Four's Big Fat Gypsy Wedding, created a wedding dress made from human hair, which took over 300 hours to make and  weighed 15 stone.

That coat would go well with a shirt made from belly button lint.

When Hillary Clinton moves into the Oval Office she will have the place re-carpeted.

So expensive—I just wear mine for free and everyday 24/7.

Uh, there are other hairy areas on human bodies.

Shall we await clothes made out of

• Underarm hair?
• Leg hair?
• Back hair?
• _____ hair?

How many did Justin Beber order?????

I'm looking for a hat made from scalp hair. Mine's wearing out.

You should rent out the space. For a "reasonable consideration" companies could shave their ads into your abs.

Well, it was just a thought.

Michelle better not get one...

 

I'm doubtful that she'd be interested....she's made it clear through her choice of husband that she doesn't want to have anything to do with anything or anyone suggestive of masculinity, although to me this coat doesn't scream "manliness" as the marketers would wish....it mainly screams "creepy and weird".

[TheOldLady]

There's one tiny problem. It's the ugliest piece of garbage I've ever seen.

I wouldn't wear the thing if they paid me £2,499.

It looks as if it would shed worse than my cats. It's sloppy and homeless looking. Ugh!

[Charles Martel]

Taken exclusively from Tom Selleck, the last known real man alive in Hollywood.

I know several women who would probably buy one, if that were true.

Unfortunately, it's probably more likely to consist of clippings from Robin Williams.

Or Alec Baldwin.

Where is the pic of Rosie O’Donnell and her hairy chest?

[EQAndyBuzz]

They can have both my chest hair and back hair. Apparently being a 12 year old is in fashion and I wouldn’t want to look out of place at Cannes next year.
