Thread: improved bird's nest

  1. #1

    Default improved bird's nest

    I was browsing through an Umpqua catalog rom a couple of years ago and it has a "Bird's Nest Improved." It looked like the original Bird's Nest. Anyone know what "improvements" it has?

    I believe that the thorax/shoulder is loop dubbed to be more "bushy" or rough...also the materials used for dubbing now is an antron like material. The original material was a blend of opossum and rabbit, I think
