Full Version: the super warm bandanna i made
PaSkiandRide Message Board > Winter > Gear

ok so a few days ago i was thinkin about how my cheapie bandannas jsut arent that warm, and i decided that needed to change. evrywhere i looked was sold outta those neff fleece lined ones, but ther too expensive anyways.

so i had an idea. I'd take this faux fur my mom used to sew me a lions costume when i was like 6, and id sew it into a bandanna. heres what it looked like:

here it is from the front. it looks like a normal bandanna u cant even tell thers somthin crazzzy goin on inside (sorry its all wrinkly it was worn for a night)



and then here it is from the inside. that furry goodness is sooo warm.



I know it looks sketchy...it looks much better in person

yea so i wore it last night, and it was soooooo warm. and really easy to breathe with it on. and it wasnt itchy like it looks like it might be

overall, its the coolest thing iv ever sewn (though that doesnt really say much)

anyways, just thought id share, cuz i thought it was pretty cool

Haha yeahh you spelled it right.
forumyoungblood

If you were smart you would of gotten fabric and made a sick one of your own. My mom taught me how to sew when i was like 8 so ive made my own bags hats scarfs and bandannas. Go To walmart or w.e buy a yard of 2 different kinds of fabric. Cut your v shape lika bandanna. Sew the 2 v's together(Its a good idea to use to different colored size cause then its reversible). At some point leave around a 3inch unsewn seem so you can stuff it with like a small fur or cotton product. After you stuff it then hand sew the 3inch hole. Then cut 2 , 10 inch long by 1 inch wide rectanges. Sew them to the top corners of your bandanna and you can tie it up. It should take around 20 mins

It's really going to suck when the hair comes out and gets in your mouth.
forumyoungblood
yeah that would suck...it hasnt done that yet tho...but for the most part i wear it as a neck warmer and jsut pull it over my face on the lift

Cotton? Yea prolly not the best idea. Cotton robs you of heat. Especially once it gets wet.

Yea it does suck, but I always keep going. Just pick it out and go in for more, haha. tongue.gif

I'd poke a few holes too for ventilation. Once that gets wet, the fur and bandana will freeze, and your life will suck twice as hard.

Funny ass quote. Cool and sew don't really go together. How does the hair taste? My boy started making a couple insulated bandanas using cut up turtle fur neck warmers, might be a little better for ya. Definatly need some holes in it if you use turtle fur, I almost suffocated myself after a long run in VT and couldn't get the damn bandana off fast enough.

Yo thats awesome, you should wear it the other way though with the fur on the outside. Style is doing something no one else is doing, not doing what everyone else is doing.

That look like GrilledSteeze's GF's snatch on the inside...
Pretty effective though and much nicer than a regular old bandanna fer shizzle
forumyoungblood
haha many funny comments...

i wore it today for 6 hours, and the outside froze, but the fur inside stayed totally thawed....it was realllly warm
phillycore
hey just thought of this.... don't try chewing gum while wearing that thing could get nasty
forumyoungblood
hah that would get relly nasty i never even thought of thaat
GrilledSteezeSandwich

There was a guy at JF today in a full on Tigger halloween costume.... WTF makes people wear that shit to a mountain??
At the blue pipejam thing (subaru day) a few weeks ago there was some jackoff in a superman cape and another flogger in some sort of dinosaur getup with a huge tail and all that.
Do costumes like that get you extra points from the judges, cause on American Idol those costumes only get you made fun of by the rest of America...

Don't forgot the guy in the squirrel costume, and the little kid wearing a full size accurate panda head helmet cover.
