[Andrew1990]

So anyone have a place online that sells decent "hippy" ponchos for guys? Not to expensive though.

Thanks...


Edit: I now am making one. Here is a pic so far

I was thinking that but I want to use that as a last resort from past adventures in clothing from ebay.

Wow, you gave me the greatest idea. I had an Indian rug made in mexico on my couch and I thought, "hey, they are like the same thing!".

So I cut a hole in the center and got this.

Well it isnt messed up to bad. I just need some sort of restrainer on it to go around me neck.

It does look pretty good though if I do say so myself.

Holes cannot be uncut.

But you could add a seam to it by grabbing a strip of textile, fold over and stich to the poncho, thus reducing the size of the hole.

PS You forgot your guns and hat. Maybe a metal plate to the chest.

You need to stop trimming your beard and stop shaving. Also, try doing more drugs. You still look like a member of the math team.

Do you want a real poncho or a sears poncho?

lol, ya, I plan on growing my hair and beard out. I have not shaved for two weeks now and my hair is still growing back from my halloween costume.


Anyways, I guess a seam would work. Maybe I can find some good material for that from and old shirt.

My friend got one off www.hippieshop.com awhile ago. Not sure if they still have any though.
