Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the past, Inuit generally kept on their warm, fur-lined clothes while inside the igloo during the day, including boots, jackets, gloves and hats. At night, they would sleep on or wrapped in heavy furs to stay warm.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Eskimo people make their warmest clothing from caribou hide-a material that evolved over millions of years in the Arctic environment, providing caribou with unequaled insulation against penetrating cold and gales. Caribou hair is hollow, so it traps insulating air not only between the hairs but also inside them.

Detailed explanation-3: -Traditional Inuit clothing consisted of a parka, pants and mittens made from caribou or sealskin (worn in one or two layers according to the season), and up to four layers of footwear. Each garment was tailored to fit the individual.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Inuit needed thick and warm clothing to survive the cold weather. They used animal skins and furs to stay warm. They made shirts, pants, boots, hats, and big jackets called anoraks from caribou and seal skin. They would line their clothes with furs from animals like polar bears, rabbits, and foxes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Inuit clothes For the very coldest temperatures, caribou fur was commonly worn, although some groups also made coats from polar bear fur. Light, waterproof anoraks made from seal skin were worn in the spring and summer. Moccasins (a type of shoe) made from buffalo skin were also worn.
