    If you click on the following link, you will see Frankenstein's monster on the right, I'm trying to find some material that matches the vest or jacket he is wearing, anyone have any ideas?

    Looks like matted sheepskin or some other type of animal skin with matted fur.

    I'd check out the faux fur selections at your local fabric store. Some of the stuff might matt up like the pic if it was washed.

    I agree with spunone. I had a pair also and they matt down with sweat and pressure. You can check Jo-ann fabrics but, I would just get a pair of seat covers and cut them to fit. Got to remember that the town was very rural and there were a lot of hunters. Think of everything being very rustic when ol' Frank was created.

    I found this online at Jo Anns Fabrics, I'll have to dye it and see if I can beat it up a little. I'll just throw it on the interstate for a day or so.

    Go to the thrift store find an old coat with this as a liner and rip it out and make the vest for
