The synthetics were just hideous especially after rain lol, as you say Canada has to control the bear population and might as well make a use from it as the bears are to be shot anyway and not just for making the bearskin caps, better to use something from the kill than to just waste it all, also if people can't understand other peoples cultures they should keep their noses out or educate themselves about the bear culls and the long tradition of wearing the bearskin
As a follow up the bearskin is an all natural product I wonder how much pollution is given off in the making of the synthetics maybe the protesters should take note of that instead?
acctualy guys hes walking from there barracks which is just down the road back to the palace in preparation orchanging of the gaurds just thought id let you know :)
@SilkyScreen The standard bearskin of the British Foot Guards is 18 inches tall, weighs 1.5 pounds, and is made from the fur of the Canadian black bear.
However, an officer's bearskin is made from the fur of the Canadian brown bear as the female brown bear has thicker, fuller fur, and is dyed black.
The hatmakers purchase between 50 and 100 black bear skins each year at a cost of about £650 each.

And to think people want to get rid of these bearskin caps, no artificial material comes close to real bearskin.
Just like with leather, the animal is killed anyway because of Canadian bear population control so the skin would go to waste otherwise.
