A well sewn or knitted coat, brightly coloured, was a much more fashionable item than a routine fur shawl for the future tribal chief. In Europe, the latest beaver hat and stole marked the fast-track burgher out from his colleagues in mere woven coats and hats. Rarity and quality, combined, always carry high market value. | |

| Oct 16, 2014 at 2:47 | comment | added | Pieter Geerkens | Tightly knit and woven articles such as blankets and cloth coats were also highly regarded by Amerindian natives, and could be supplied from across the Atlantic cheaply enough to trade for furs. | |
