Can I still get raw "huge hide" from bears in the 1.21.0 update

[labtop 215]

I have a feeling that I can't since the hides are replaced with raw bear hide with head.  I can get soaked huge hides, but not raw huge hides.  Reason I want raw huge hides is so that I can oil them directly to prepare them for a fur coat.  I can make bear hide armor from oiled pelts but I can't make a fur coat directly from bear pelt with huge head, or any of it's derivatives.

It doesn't look it.

Welcome to the forums! While you may not be able to make a fur coat from bear hides, the bear hide armor you can make offers warmth as well as protection, so it's an upgrade in that sense. Plus you can equip a fur coat under the armor for even more warmth.

Thank you.  Was kind of hoping this was an oversight, but not a problem.  I can make fur coats out of boar instead.

There is this paragraph on the wiki which indicates that the head can be removed after curing.

"Optional: Remove the head, with a knife in the crafting grid."

Wasn't quite what I was looking for, but close.  At the time I did remove the head from the hide to get a bear pelt, but I wasn't allowed to in any way change it into a generic pelt or do anything else with the pelt besides make armor with it.  However, since the game has received a patch (v1.21.1 stable), you can now take a knife to the headless bear pelt to get the following:

Black Bear Pelt + knife = 2 large pelts

Brown Bear Pelt + knife = 2 huge pelts

Panda Bear Pelt + knife = 1 large pelt

Polar Bear Pelt + knife = 3 huge pelts

Sen Bear Pelt + knife = 1 large pelt

1 huge hide + knife to the left = one fur coat

1 huge hide + knife on top = one pair of fur boots

1 huge hide + knife to the right = one pair of fur gloves
