Modern substitution for materials is OK, because I am sure some of the materials are no longer available (or maybe even illegal....). If you have to use black bucktail instead of Black Bear hair, it's OK.

I sincerely hope no one actually tries to use real polar bear or seal fur in their patterns. We just want to capture the flavor....not necessarily the substance.

Great idea.

I better get started now - maybe I can just trim some wooll off of a hibernating beare once I find it.
