The arms are made of vertically sewn strips (vertical when arms are spread). The rim of the hood is lined with a cotton casing through which a thread is strung. The strips are sewn together with a dark blue cotton thread, thus accentuating the seams. A patch of intestine has been sewn onto the coat below the right arm. The bottom and the sleeves are trimmed with narrow strips of seal skin.
