They certainly don't wear Chanel...

​

Well, then what do they wear? The Inuit prefer caribou but they also use seal and polar bear. Their usual clothing consists of a coat, pants, stockings, and shoes/boots. The Inuit also have boots called "kamiks". Kamiks are made from seal skin. We sometimes wear an adoption of the Inuit parka, which is called "atiuik". Inuit women play a huge role in the making of Inuit clothing. Women must sew clothing so tight it is nearly waterproof, which requires lots of patience, strength and concentration. If an Inuit man's clothing is ripped even the littlest bit, it must be repaired immediately. The Inuit value there clothing greatly, and never waste anything, unlike modern civilization.
