Your post inspired me to make a second costume with a hat similar to yours! I found some black faux fur so I made a Grizzly hat and tail instead of a lion. Unfortunately I just registered so I can't post a picture on here, but below is a link to my blog post with the pictures.

Might I inquire in which establishment you happened to acquire that fanciful furry fabric?
(To be thought aloud with a fancy british accent.)

I too would like to know where to get such fabric (in not so sophisticated british accent)

For 2"+, long pile fur I've found:

and

These places are quite pricey, $15 to $25+ a yard/58"/60" wide.
Still, I'd love to make a fierce lion cap.

If anyone has a resource for inexpensive long pile fur, please do tell ^_^
