Opossum Coat

[Bo_G]

After 16 years of marriage and tying flys and jigs since before we started dating, the wife just admitted she has had an opossum coat that she has not worn since the 80's! She won't even pull it out to let me look at it! :huh: I wonder how long the hair is? How dark is the hair? Did they tan it thin for suppleness or is the skin thick? Just how long is "full length"? Did she store it correctly? Would she wear it if it were jacket length?

Ha! Just cut a section off a possum skin today to work with jigs. Giving one dollar for a skin is a good price and less concerns with the wife!
