 Arctic
Man's jacket made of caribou skin
Central Eskimos (Inuit) of Canada.
Collected by Captain Corner. Exchange with the American Museum of Natural
History, New York, 1906.
This kind of warm clothing which firmly encloses the body is essential
to survival in the arctic. Usually, an undergarment with the hair facing
inwards was worn beneath such items with the hair facing outwards.
