seal skin
Arctic coat material
Seal skin is the hide of a seal, typically with its fur intact, used for clothing, boots, and accessories.
The material is prized for its warmth, water resistance, and durability in cold climates.
Seal skin products remain culturally significant to Inuit and other Arctic peoples: a traditional seal skin parka.
Also spelled as one word: sealskin.
