The Ötzi’s clothing was practical and functional. Ötzi’s clothing was made from hide, leather and braided grass, affording him protection from the cold and wet.

Ötzi was fully clothed when he died. His clothing was damaged by wind and weather when the ice melted and was also badly affected by the unorthodox way in which his body was recovered.
His clothing was made solely from leather, hide and braided grass. It was stitched together with animal sinews, grass fibres and tree bast. No wool or woven textile was found. Unfortunately, there are no comparable items from Ötzi’s era, so we don’t know whether he was wearing traditional everyday wear or special clothing. In any case, Ötzi was well prepared for life in the wilderness. His garments, practical and functional, afforded protection from the cold and wet.

Ötzi’s hide coat reached almost down to his knees, covering his upper body and thighs. The coat was made from light and dark strips of goat and sheep hide stitched together with animal sinews. Ötzi wore the coat with the fur on the outside. Unfortunately, the sleeves did not survive. Since no recognisable fasteners were found, the coat was probably held closed with a belt. The coat had been in use for a long time, because the inside was very dirty, and some torn seams had been repaired with grass fibres – probably by Ötzi himself.

This is a reconstuction. Original Otzi clothings looks like this now.Toddler wrote:Ötzi was fully clothed when he died.

These garments look so simple but so natural. It's great that we still are able to make a reconstruction of this clothing

I am sure that ancient patriot took out a dozen enуmies before going out. We must bury him with full military honors.
