Le duffle (de Duffel: ville de Flandres) est un tissu anglais épais, riche et moelleux qui a connu une grande vogue chez les Inuits d'abord, puis chez les Indiens. Il a été populaire sous le nom de "couverture de la Baie d'Hudson", car c'est cette compagnie qui l'a introduit au Québec en vendant des couvertures en duffle dans ses postes de traite et ses magasins. Les autochtones utilisaient ces couvertures pour se faire des vêtements (anoraks), des mitaines et des mocassins. 1, record 1, French, - couverture%20de%20la%20Baie%20d%27Hudson

Les robes de fourrure d'une seule pièce, comptaient au nombre des vêtements traditionnels amérindiens pour l'homme comme pour la femme. Les Indiens transformaient la peau des animaux tués à la chasse en couvertures et en vêtements. Les Indiens du Québec se couvraient de fourrures pour se protéger du froid de l'hiver. Leurs manteaux de peau étaient très simples, du genre poncho, cape ou couverture, et drapaient leurs corps. Cette coutume a été adoptée par les Blancs, qui souvent conservaient le poil des fourrures alors que les Amérindiens préféraient l'enlever. 4, record 2, French, - robe%20de%20carriole
