Behold the $3,860. chest hair jacket!

Company creates fur coat made of men’s chest hair

What’s fashion-forward and what is simply bizarre?

We’ve seen a number of peculiar items walking down catwalks and red carpets (who can forget Bjork’s Swan Dress or Lady Gaga’s meat dress?) but this might be the strangest thing we’ve seen in a while.

A company has revealed a fur coat made entirely from male chest hair.

According to the Daily Mail the coat was commissioned by milk drink for men, Wing Co., as a protest against the emasculation of British men.

It seems British men are fed up with shaving chest hair to seem attractive … so instead they shave it for fashion.

The coat features more than one million strands of male chest hair and it took fashion designers more than 200 hours to create it. The extensive labor is reflected in the hefty price tag. If you want to wear this coat, dig deep into your pockets as it costs approximately $3,860.

What’s ironic is that the model sporting the chest hair coat also has a shaved chest. We can’t help but wonder if he donated his chest hair to the cause of fighting emasculation.

    Itd be funny if it was actually made from women in correctional facility sweat shops shaving their pubes and butt holes. They have to meet orders somehow lol.

  • Love to see all the chests that the hair came from before they shaved it off!

  • It looks like cheap carpet padding.

  • Not a very attractive coat. Might have worked better if they had mixed the human hair with a more functional fiber. That's what is done if, for example, you want a sweater made from your dog's hair.
