An Eskimo man models a parka fashioned of walrus intestine. Impermeable when wet and easy to come by for the sea-focused people, the material was prepared by air curing, then sliced and sewn with a waterproof stitch—the same as used on watercraft, including the umiak (canoe) he’s holding. The jacket’s extra material at the hem functioned as a spray skirt when he was at sea.
I really don't want a walrus intestine jacket because the place for your head is naturally, it's ass. However the concept works out in real life, and I'm not a hater - good for Eskimos.
