A similar pair of trousers from the Iglulingmiut is of short-haired caribou skin; the width at the waist is 40, at the bottom of legs 25 cm; length 70 cm. At the bottom are two broad, white stripes, separated by a dark one; across the legs near the fork are three white and two narrow, black stripes, rather higher up at the back two broad white and one thin, dark stripe, and on the outer side at the top a thin, white stripe. A pair of outer trousers from the Aivilingmiut have at the bottom of the legs white edges, but are otherwise made of skin of fairly uniform colour. Width at top 40, at bottom 28, length 65 cm.

A number of young men among the Aivilingmiut have now adopted the short trousers, very wide at the bottoms, of the Qaernermiut.

Fig. 112 (Iglulingmiut) is a pair of under trousers of caribou skin with the hair inside; at the bottom of the legs they are edged with black unhaired seal skin. Width at top 45, bottom of leg 22, outside length 62 cm. Fig. 113 shows the cut of these trousers. A pair of under trousers from the Aivilingmiut is just like these.
