Wade also purchased a pair of seal-skin moccasons, with legs to the knee, for a butcher-knife; which gave us a chance to observe that the owner wore socks of dog-skin, with the hair in.

A pair of these were _chymoed_ from another man for a stick of wood.
Beneath their bear-skin frocks they wore a shirt of some thin skin, which the captain pronounced to be bladder-skin,--of bears, perhaps.

I got one of these shirts for a jack-knife.

Wishing to have an entire outfit, we bought a pair of breeches of the man of whom we had already purchased the boots, for a dozen spike-nails.

These were of fox-skin, apparently, with the hair worn next the skin.
