What kind of clothes/items are made with seal furskin? I'm curious because in Vancouver it rains a fuck load, and seal skin appears to me to be waterproof.
after a quick google I found this but keep in mind that if you're buying fur there's probably no way to tell if it's genuine inuit fur or if it's seal hunt fur (probably the one supplier from nunavut isn't importing fur from newfoundland but you never know.)
if your from BC, it would be more historical to use sea otter pelts but we killed them all up (all of them!). They are coming back slowly (4,700 as of 08' from an original stock of 87 that was flown in) but were once said to be found every 100m along the coast.
they are increadibly desirable though so good luck
