I know it's been done many times but I can't find the thread. 🤦‍♂️

I've lost my washable face mask somewhere - what do you fellow pumpkin heads wear?

I use these

large, you can get lots so its easier to find them lying around the house.

strip of fabric with a bitton at each end means you can use any face mask - make the strap longer to suit

Home made strap extender

Ernie, you may think I'm taking northern stereotypes to a ridiculous extreme but I was honestly wearing a flat cap

JUST the middle one? Or do you want me to keep the rest of my clothes on?

How about the flat cap?

"Funky Muc-off" is a bit of a dangerous tongue-twister isn't it.

I've got a funny shaped head and I really struggled to find suitable masks, but these Decathlon ones have been just the job -

Normal over the ear masks hurt my ears after a while so I use the Buff filter masks.
Filters are replaceable, mask is washable and it adjusta on your head/neck
Not cheap but love mine

I made ours using a proper pattern. (I've got a pea head).
This however can be altered to suit one's own noggin, by widening the fabric and putting one fewer pleat in.

Bugger to make as the thickness of the pleats when sewing breaks even the needles on my industrial machine.
