Inuit (Aleutian) in a park made from the insides of a sea lion.

Nome, Alaska. The year is 1900. Arctic hunters most often make trousers and shoes from the skins of marine mammals, and outerwear from deer skins and warm it with fox, squirrel or arctic fox fur. Among the hunters of Chukotka, rovduga is widely used – suede made of elk or deer skins. Eskimos and Aleutian sea hunters sew unique, authentic waterproof camel lace anoraks. We all use lightweight waterproof raincoats. No fisherman or hunter can do without them, mushroom pickers and outdoor vacationers always take raincoats with them. Modern raincoats are made of plastic or a special impregnated material. However, among the northern peoples, such cloaks are made from natural materials, from the insides of walruses, seals and sea lions. Kamlot is a blind shirt with a hood (anorak), which was usually worn as an upper layer on fur coats or jackets, and sea St. John's wort - for hunting. Such a shirt was made from the insides and throat tissues of marine mammals: walrus, seal, sea lion. The special texture of such fabrics actually prevented the penetration of water and snow, protecting the fur of the main jacket and the comfort of the hunter. A parka (anorak) made from the insides of sea lions and other similar animals was used as a cloak or clothing for hunters who kayak. The intestines are cleared of partially digested food and other contents such as stones. The insides are then cleaned to remove fat and excess tissue. After that, they are inflated and left to dry. Then they are cut lengthwise, leaving a long strip that goes into action. The guts of several sea lions are required to make such a park. Proper skinning is hard work that requires skill, which is why skilled furriers have always been highly respected by the northern peoples. High-quality clothing made of natural materials is not only comfortable, but also prevents excessive sweating or protects against precipitation due to proper thermoregulation. And this is important in an environment where a hunter's life often depends on the quality and convenience of clothing.
