Rutle wigs were a merchandising piece that began selling in the early 60s. Unlike most Rutle merchandising, the wigs lasted financially, as Rutle fans kept buying more and more Rutle wigs. Murray the K was known to have one, as was Barry Wom.
"Grey" addition.
In 1996, in celebration of Archaeology, new Rutle wigs were sold, entitled "grey edition." These were the same as the original, but with a new packaging and a Nasty-esque wig.
