Is this jus a Halloween costume in July? No. In fact, this neat outfit is actually the GRN Appletree Mummy Hoody. It's made of 30 individual strips of fabric that have been cleverly sewn together in order to create this unique new garment with a decidedly thematic feel.
Implications - Given how popular movies like Twilight and shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer have been in recent years, it makes sense that a quirky garment like this would come around. Who wouldn't want to look like a fictional creature from the horror genre? I certainly would. I'd probably have to ask my mummy for some money to buy one though. See what I did there?
