Taking the Crow tribe of the northern Plains as an example, they originally made their leggings from mountain goat, mountain sheep, deer, elk or pronghorn antelope skins tanned very soft and as nearly white as possible. Decoration might include fringes along each side seam and painted horizontal stripes indicating coups; only the most outstanding warriors and leaders could attach fringes of hair locks.
When they had access to white traders, from about the 1840s onwards, stroud cloth of red, blue or green was made into breechclouts and leggings, saving the women a huge amount of time in processing animal hides. Crow men's cloth leggings often had large rectangular decorated patches around the bottom of each leg. Sometimes leggings were simply made from trade blankets cut to shape.
This transition from animal skin to cloth leggings is typical of almost all native tribes throughout North America, except in the south-east and California areas where the hot climate made leggings unnecessary.
