Hello all,
I'm a Ringling Bro. & BB clown college grad. class of 1993.

My wife is a costume designer. We have two websites. the one you guys will be interested in: www.proclownwigs.com
We hand make real yak clown wigs.
Patrick

Hi and welcome to the board. I have seen your wigs and costumes on ebay and love them. I will have to save up for a real nice one for sure. Are they comfy? Hot? How easy are they to clean and maintain?

Patrick,

I went to both of your sites and I like. I don't do escapes but I appreciate your variety of products. As far as the wigs go it looks like your site is off to a great start.
I heard that there was a difference between Yak belly hair and the rest of their hair, and that the belly hair was harder to get. Are there a bunch of bald bellied yaks running around or can the belly hair be used in a wider variety of products? (Just enough knowledge not to know what I am talking about.)

No, Our wigs aren't too hot. The caps are made of a ribbed knit. The whole wig can be hand washed.They are really comfy, the cap is stretchy and soft.

We use yak tail hair. I'm not sure , but I would think that the belly hair would have a different texture. It may be harder to get because it's NOT used to make as many different items. It might have a fuzzier texture, which would make unsuitable for many things (like paint brushes for example).Just guessing though.

It is that I have natural clowny hear of myself (long dreadlocks) and a wig could't cover all this hair otherwise I would sertainly be interested. They look great. Anyway welcome at this forum Patrick.

Thanks OKIDOKI.
If you change your mind, I'm sure we could adjust the pattern to accomodate your dreads.
