Hauke: Red paint
Brandon Moonin: Perhaps Eyak
William Smith: Looks older than the other pair of pants. ( ID Number: IV A 6519); since it does not have buttons.
Jens Matuschek: There is a hole in the crotch of the pants. Jens commented that this might have been for exhibition purposes.
William Smith: Doesn't think it is waterproof; since the material would soak up water quite quick.
William Smith: Sometimes use a binding at the seams, the red line could be connected to that or drawn for the cutouts to make the pants.
William Smith: Probably deerhide.
Dawn Randazzo: With waterproof stitching you can't see it on the outside but usually only in the inside. The pattern shows that they widened the pants. The pattern shows that there is a diamond shape used. Maybe it was used with a belt or some kind of suspenders.
Tatianna Turner: The pattern used at the feet for the stitching is different on these pants than the others.
Dawn Randazzo: You can only tell a waterproof stitch on the inside because it is sewn inside out.
Vince Evans: mukluk seal (for durability)
William Smith: Stitching is very small and close. Considering the needles that were used at the time. It must have taken a long time to sewn. Could have used porcupine or bone needles.
John Johnson: Sometimes when people didn't have enough to eat they would boil these type of clothes and make a soup.
Pamela Smith: Speculates; could be Carabou. The pants might not be from the Chugach region.
Deborah McMullen: My mom was a sewer. My mom and my sister both were. When I think about all the women that are sewer nowadays. If you watch women that sew now; you can see they put as much detail as the women did in those days. I can picture them. Piecing together that eagle parka.
John Johnson: Both men and women sew.
