Since my coat was originally patterned to be a Xaldin coat, and Yui finally finished Xigbar, I agreed to do this.

The wig is wool roving: pulled apart, combed, wrapped around gaskets and latex tubes, held together by a complicated system of hair clips and velvet for friction, and tiny little rubber bands for stability. (I made this wig from scratch...there is no base wig.)
Some of the construction can be viewed here:

Sideburns are combed wool spirit-gummed in multiple layers to wax-paper, and then carefully trimmed one layer at a time.

Many thanks to Meg and Nell and Yui for helping put me in it the first time, even through the realization that a whole half of the wig was in critical failure. It was sheer perseverance and bobby pins holding it together then, and yet we managed! (Its much more stable now.)
