Anyone know how to get traditional inuit cloths?
    #26990287 - 10/17/20 04:04 PM (3 years, 3 months ago)

I started to read The Fat Of The Land by Vilhjalmur Steffansson, he was an Artic explorer that lived with the Inuit, and this is a couple paragraphs from his book detailing Inuit clothing, his argument here is they dont have to eat any more then a normal person living in the cold, but im into really warm clothing, I have a $100 sweater thats good to like -20 and I wear it all winter instead of a coat, but I still have to wear a long sleeve shirt underneath it, I will get cold if im just wearing a t-shirt underneath, so these Inuit clothing seem alluring to me


Quote:

In  a  discussion  that  considers  everything  from  the  dietetic point of view,  there  is not time  to explain  fully  the  Eskimos' clothes,  how  the  materials  are  prepared  and  how  the  garments  are  made.  Many  books,  however,  including  some written by me, have covered this subject in detail.  I simply  state,  then,  that  the  clothes  the  Eskimos  wear  in  the  Arctic during  the  coldest month  of the  year,  January  or  February,weigh  under  ten  pounds,  which  is  a  good  deal  less  than  the winter  equipment  of  the  average  New  York  business  man. These  clothes  are  soft  as  velvet,  and  it  is  only  a  slight  exaggeration  to  say  that  the wearers  have  to use  a  test  to  find out whether  the  day  is  cold.  At  —40°  F.,  a  Mackenzie  Eskimo,or a white man  dressed in their style,  sits outdoors  and  chats almost  as  comfortably  as  one  does  in  a  thermostat-regulated room.  The  cold,  about  which  the  polar  explorer  can  read upon  the  scale  of  his  thermometer,  will  touch  only  those parts  of his  body which  are  exposed,  the  face  and  the  inside of  the  breathing  apparatus,  a  small  fraction  of  the  body,needing little  fuel  for counterbalance.  Warm  and  completely protected  elsewhere,  he  can  sit  comfortably  even  with  bare hands.  Indeed,  the  ears,  particularly  liable  to  frost,  seem  to be  about  the  only  parts  likely  to  freeze  if  exposed  at  40°below  zero while  most  of the  rest  of  the  body  is warm.This  holds  only  during  calm  weather.  A  strong  wind  at —20°  F.  or  —30°  F.  will  freeze  almost  any  exposed  part  of the  body,  if given time.  But Eskimo clothes are  nearly wind-proof,  as  part  of  being  nearly  cold proof,  so  that,  even  in  a wind,  little  caloric  energy  is  needed  for  counterbalancing  a low temperature.

A most interesting question. :strokebeard: My best guess would be a Inuit Pow-Wow, if they actually exist. Or perhaps a "Trading Store" on Inuit land.

You can get the cowichin sweaters by emailing the band. Usually the indian bands have stores and are eager to sell their traditional clothes. They aren't cheap though.


I looked into the cowichin sweater and it was like $500.

I'm not sure what the seal skins might be, but you should be able to get them.

I can only find womens parkas on ebay and most of them are faux-fur, but I found a real one for $500 lol https://www.ebay.ca/itm/VTG-Genuine-Fur-Coat-Eskimo-Alaska-style-White-Black-Fox-Fur-Trim-Hood-Parka-S-M/264901876382?hash=item3dad61da9e:g:3JsAAOSwB69ficGh

I found this website, it wants me to visit the Northwest Artic Borough in Alaska and ask around the natives till I find someone who can make the stuff https://classroom.synonym.com/how-to-buy-inuit-clothing-12078909.html

Definitely not an economy friendly option, but if you're looking for something ultra comfortable, checkout qiviut clothing.

www.mountainmasche.com has a decent selection

Maybe you can make something out of sheepskin. Those are warm but can be pretty cheap compared to other furs.

https://www.sheepskinshop.ca/Single-Sheepskin-Rugs-s/1829.htm

From two $75 sheepskins you could probably make a pretty good coat.

Seems like that would make sense.

I have a reindeer fur from Finland I think. It was $150 but that was probably 10 years ago.

Reindeer fur? Wow. I bet thats really warm too. Animals have Nature's best warmth. Otters are a great example (God Rest their animal Souls).

You have to eat living things to keep alive. Except for like Honey and milk. It's a kill or die world.

A good wool coat will see to most of your needs unless you need something for really extreme weather.  Word of warning, good wool coats are expensive, but require little cleaning and are pretty damn waterproof.

I'm pretty sure one can match the performance, or even exceed it, with modern synthetics.

I have a suit I wear on my motorbike which I can throw on at 0c with nothing more than a T-Shirt underneath and remain warm; even factoring in the -20c induced by wind chill:



Is there a reason you want traditional stuff?

Supporting local native industries for a sustainable harvest isn't any worse than eating any other wild game or any other fur or leather.

Im really into warm cloths, the fact that the book paragraph says the Inuit clothing is good to -40 (C or F) and feel as comfortable as indoors is very alluring to me, the down sides is the book also says the cloths rot if you sweat, so theres downsides, it says the inside of the Inuit home is like tropical temperatures and the kids go naked while the adults wear old clothing that are full of tears and holes, they hang up their outdoor cloths upon entering the home, so they dont get wet with sweat and rot

2 years ago I bought a Wind River T-max Hoodie from Marks Work Wearhouse thats good to like -20C (-4F) but I didnt read the care instructions and I tumble dried it one too many times and it shrunk, so last year I was going to go into debt on my credit card buying a new one, and a Shroomery member (whos in this thread) bought me a new one, I wore it all last year instead of a coat, and plan to this year too

I could use warmer cloths though, to stay as warm as I can I wear long johns, jeans, long john shirt, t-shirt, and long sleeve shirt and my T-max hoodie, and even then I get a little cold, not feeling warm like im in a "thermostat regulated room", during December when the snow falls and the temperature is a little bit warmer maybe im as comfortable as summer all bundled up, just chilling waiting for the bus, but a month or two later, especially if theres a wind, Im definitely not as comfortable, and I hate being outside

Another thing thats alluring to me is ancient wisdom, how long has there been Inuit? like 20,000 years or something, staying that warm in that climate, that long ago is something that I dont think should be forgotten
