« A narrow strip of moose skin approximately 166 cm long is identified as a belt for holding up a man's leggings. This suggests that the longer leggings which could be fastened to a belt were worn by men, although Rogers (1967, p. 52) maintains that Mistassini men's and women's leggings were of equal length. » Vanstone, James W.
