Annotation:

The men’s winter costume consisted of the fur coat, a waist belt, a fur cap, trousers, and high fur boots. The fur coat is made of black cloth, lined with polar fox fur, with a turndown collar of beaver fur. The sleeves are puckered up on the shoulders to make puffs. The costume was well adapted to harsh climate and heavy frosts. It combined local traditions and elements borrowed from neighboring peoples. Abstract by M.V. Fedorova
