The Night's Watch's Capes on "Game of Thrones" Are Actually Just IKEA Rugs

One of Game of Thrones' costume designers, Michele Clapton, has admitted to using IKEA rugs for some of the show's iconic costumes.

That's right. If you need a last-minute costume idea this Halloween, you can just head to your local IKEA and pick up a rug for an authentic Night's Watch costume.

She told an audience at Los Angeles' Getty Museum last year that the capes are actually IKEA rugs. "We cut and then we shaved them and then we added strong leather straps," Clapton confessed.

"I want the audience to almost smell the costumes. Here they were waxed and frosted so they almost belong to the landscape."

Clapton also told The Hollywood Reporter that she sourced the bones for the Wildings' costumes from eBay.

"We bought a lot of bones online from eBay," she told The Hollywood Reporter. “Then we took molds of the bones and made armor, all strapped together with what looks like guts but is actually string and latex."

Even though Clapton told everyone this last year, it's only just getting picked up now probably due to the fact Season 7 is starting to heat up (and freeze over) with the Stark reunions and the inevitable invasion of the White Walkers.

If you're on the lookout for a Night's Watch costume, we think this one looks pretty authentic.
