The fur hats and coats is a total myth.

That's a shame. I've always thought those big fur winter hats were kinda of spiffy. I kinda wanted one for myself.

I picked up one over twenty years ago – it’s the style made popular by President Hamid Karzai. Man, it is warm.

They're not a total myth and in sub-artica/artic you need the real fur for its oils, synthetics build up such static that the shock can arc between people several feet apart. But they are very expensive.
