An outer garment, typically reaching the wearer’s ankles or lower calf, constructed primarily from the pelt of the wild canine Canis latrans, represents a significant investment in both material and craftsmanship. The inherent characteristics of the fur, including its insulating properties and natural water resistance, contribute to the garment’s functionality in cold weather conditions. Such items are often associated with luxury and status, reflecting the resources required for acquisition and maintenance.
Historically, wearing fur provided essential protection against the elements, particularly in regions with harsh winters. The utilization of coyote pelts, in particular, offered a balance between durability, warmth, and availability. Beyond mere utility, these garments have also served as symbols of affluence and prestige, showcasing the owner’s ability to acquire and maintain valuable resources. The garment’s inherent warmth and perceived aesthetic appeal are considered primary benefits.
