And in keeping with one of my Christmas presents (a pair of TOMS) for every bat cover you sell you should give one away to a bat that really needs one

The fleece I picked up today was far far thicker than the puzzle stuff I bought for my own.

Thicker than some bat covers I've had before, but I can certainly experiment with a double layer foam inserted bad boy bat cover!

Thicker with foam would be good for a bat cover, gives some protection for the bat as well whilst in transit.

yep, and shoulder strap.

Do people not have Bat Caves anyway?? I do. Don't think I've actually carried a bat outside a bag.. well ever (in all 3 seasons :) )

Trouble with adding the foam to it would be I'd have to use two pieces of fleece which is twice the fabric then the price of the foam as well.

I will certainly give this a go though!!

Get Tom Evans on board to design a logo and Gareth Bull on board so you can get them embroidered.
