Here is an article about the believed use of Cave Bear fur as clothing.

What a shame I thought they were using it for wargames terrain not clothing… ;o)

Interesting article.
I had never thought about just when needles came along and am now wondering if furs were worn like shawls, maybe laced together, or perhaps strapped and tied together.
And, yes, BillyNM, I thought this would be an article on a faux cave bear variant of teddy bear fur for scenery.

Maybe there is a need for cave bear gaming mats….

Step 1, recover cave bear DNA and clone them.

Step 2, teach them to wargame.

Step 2 is the tricky bit.

I'm sure that they invented needles a lot longer before the archies say they had them. They may have been primitive, but that doesn't mean they were stupid…

Looks perfect for a WWI mud and trench warfare gaming mat.
