The main cold weather garment was a complete buffalo hide with the hair left on - the hair side was worn next to the body to act as excellent insulation. This "robe" was replaced by trade blankets when these became available.

Even moccasins might be stuffed with fur or dried grass to help keep the feet warm, but in general very little additional clothing was worn in the winter months - natives frequently said that "white people wear too many clothes". In the coldest times, with ice forming on the streams, men and boys would still go swimming early in the mornings wearing only their breechclouts.
