Epic fantasy drama Game of Thrones Season 7 is in full swing with more bloody murders, evil scheming and fire-breathing dragons.
But what we've just heard about the costume department could be one of the most interesting stories to come out so far.
It's emerged capes worn by Jon Snow and the Night's Watch are actually made from £40 Ikea rugs.
The show's head costume designer Michele Clapton confessed to the wardrobe secret at a talk in Los Angeles. She revealed: “These capes are actually IKEA rugs.
“It’s a bit of a trick. We take anything we can. We cut and we shaved them, and we added strong leather straps and then break them down."
Since news of the rug trick spread, hundreds of fans have been flocking down to their local stores to pick up their own.
And many have been sharing snaps of themselves draped in the "SKOLD" sheepskin rug, which comes in dark brown and is sold as being "soil-repellent and hard-wearing."
Doesn't mention anything about protecting you against White Walkers but we can only hope.
Asda Partnership
Thrones fans looking to expand their flat pack winter wardrobe beyond a throw should consider a trip to Asda where this Targaryen T-Shirt is just £10.
If you're thinking 'what is this Game of Thrones you speak of?' then you might want to binge watch the lot.
Kick off with Season One for £15 - or if you're just after a re-cap, Season Six is £25.
