The skin of the seal, which when dressed with the fur on is made into caps and other articles of clothing, or when tanned is used in making boots, etc. The skin of some species, as the sea-bear or fur-seal, when the coarser long outer hairs are removed, leaving the soft under fur, is the expensive seal-skin of which ladies' jackets, etc., are made.
