Leather, Fur's, Silk's Native American Clothing Native Americans Clothing influenced American clothing today. The original shirt wearers earned the right to wear War Shirts through great acts of bravery and deeds that were incorporated into the designs. The men would wear a long rectangular piece of hide or cloth tucked over a belt, so that the flaps fell down in front and behind them. This was known as a breechclout. The guys sometimes wore leggins too.

Native American clothing inspired american clothing today.

" The original shirt wearers earned the right to wear War Shirts through great acts of bravery and deeds that were incorporated into the designs." "Most Indian men did not use shirts, but Plains Indian warriors wore special buckskin war shirts decorated with ermine tails, hair, and intricate quillwork and beadwork."

"Most Northeastern women wore knee- or calf- length skirt that was simply a squared-up skin wrapped around there waist and held there by a belt. The skirt barley overlapped on the left side, allowing the thigh to be readily bared for rolling fibers against it to make twine. The skirts were always past their knee's. They had to make do with a piece of animal skin (fur, or leather). Since most of the women didnt hunt them self, the men were the one's to skin the animals, but it was the woman's job to sew, cut, and make the "clothes".

 And in other tribes women usually wore one-piece dresses instead, like this Cheyenne buckskin dress. Nearly all Native Americans had some form of moccasin (a sturdy leather shoe) or mukluk (heavier boot), with the styles of footwear differing from tribe to tribe (as you can see from these mocasin pictures)."A roach was attached by tying a braid of hair to a flat, thin plate of bone, which pressed the headdressto the head."

The men wore far less, even in cold weather. In the summer thier only clothing was a breechckout and, perhaps, moccasins. A breechclout was a narrow strip of leather, three or four feet long, passed between the legs and brought upwardunder a belt; the ends hung down over the belt, front and back." "In most tribes, Native American men wore breechclouts or breechcloths (a long rectangular piece of hide or cloth tucked over a belt, so that the flaps fell down in front and behind), sometimes with leather leggings attached in colder climates." "In winter men sometimes wore a kind of chasuble made of two skins, with or without fur, caught together on shoulder; but usually a fur robe or leather rabbitskin blanket was enough." 

"On ordinary occasions mean of the Plains dressed like other Indians; a breechclout and mocasins were enough. Mocasins stuffed with grass or hair, leggins, and buffalo robe, worn hair side in, were usually enough clothes for a man in cold weather." In my essay i have talked a lot about what the different tribes have wore. Since i mentioned a "breechclout" a lot, this shows you how much our times have changed. They first wore leathers and animal skins. This has inspired the world in our century times now. We still wear animal skins and even more leather. Leather is being worn all around the world today. The Native Americans Indians i think have inspired clothes in America.
