Attached to this jacket is a hood, and around the face is a thick roll made of fox-tails.
The _ahteah_ is a shirt, usually of fawn skin, with the hair inside, and the Eskimos wear it even in summer.

In some of the photographs of natives, the skilful piecing together of the skins in the shirt can be traced.

The Eskimo women are more adept at this work than are any of the furriers of civilization.

They sew the skins with the sinew taken from the back of the deer--the jumping muscle.

It is absolutely unbreakable, and moisture does not rot it.
