I thought this was interesting. After all, they don't use dire wolf skins....

I bet you, like me, took a gander at the cloaks of the Night’s Watch on Game of Thrones and thought “Damn, if they weren’t so flea-infested and covered in the blood of the dead I’d wear that in a heartbeat. Where do I even get a cloak like that?” Well you can fashion a cloak of your own the same way the show’s costume designer does: with SKOLD and LUDDE sheepskin rugs from friggin’ IKEA.

Ha!

I realized what they were once seeing some northern man who looked for all the world like he was wearing our Mr. Black:

Of course, I can get a coyote pelt, which wouldn't need any dyeing to make it look proper.

Can I suggest searching for an Icelandic Sheep pelt? Prices look fairly comparable, and they are SOOOOO warm and shaggy. And don't need dying either. :)
