Moreover, after colonization, native American clothing began to change. The different tribes started living together in the lands they were forced to move (= verso le quali furono obbligati a trasferirsi) and they began borrowing
(= a prendere a prestito) some of each other’s tribal dress. They also started adapting European costumes to their own styles decorating clothing and garments with their beadwork, embroidery, and designs (= ornamenti con perle, ricami e disegni) .
Also white men borrowed clothing from the Native Americans. The Buckskins, for example, derive from deerskin (= pelle di daino) clothing worn (= to wear, ; indossato) by Native Americans. They consists of a jacket and leggings, made from buckskin, a softsueded leather (= pella scamosciata) from the hide (= cuoio) of deer (= cervo) or elk (= alce). They usually have a fringe (= frangia). The fringes were used as a series of wicks (= scoli) that dispersed the water and permitted the garment (= il vestito) to dry faster (= asciugarsi) when it was wet (= umido).
They were popular with mountain men and other frontiersmen (= uomini di frontiera) for their warmth and durability (= durata) and they became in fashion during the 1970s.
