Among the Plains and marginally-Plains tribes buffalo robes served many functions.
They were used as bedding - both for a kind of mattress and as coverings. They provided the only warm outer garment in cool weather, because no coats or other outer clothing was worn. They were often decorated in specific ways to indicate the sex of the wearer and sometimes display a warrior's war record.
Paint was often applied in incised lines on the inner surface of a robe, while the hair was left intact on the outer surface, which was worn next to the body. Among some tribes a woman's robe would bear a rectangular geometric design known today as "box and border"; a man's robe might feature a circular radiating design similar to a war bonnet, or images and symbols of warfare, horse raids and wounds received.
A Blackfoot Oman's robe collected in 1833 is tanned almost white and has a painted pattern of seven narrow, parallel bands of geometric designs in yellow ochre, green, red and black. This robe is now in the German Museum of Leather in Offenbach.
