In winter, when it is cold, the women and children especially do not often leave their shelter. As was mentioned, they cover themselves with duffel cloth, and some wear it folded double. They further shield their bodies against the cold with bear and espannen fat rubbed on their skin and by wearing a jerkin and sleeves of bear skin. They also have clothes made of the skins of weasels, bears, deer and elk, in which they can withstand the winter quite comfortably. Adriaen Van Der Donck, A Description of New Netherland
