the peoples of the north have chosen the perfect patterns for clothes, and every seam has had its place. Clothes could be all-in-one, without a single cut, or with an open front.
For off-season clothes they used rovduga - suede made of reindeer or elk skin. Winter clothing was made from deer skin, it was traded with sea hunters for seal skin - used to make waterproof footwear. To finish items they used the skins of small fur animals (squirrel, ermine). A fur mosaic technique was used, where pieces of fur of different colours are sewn together one by one. Women mastered the art of deer hair embroidery. In Chukotka, a use was found for walrus moustache, and the Mansi often used coloured thread.
