spending, by choice, much of my time outdoors in winter weather, I can say for a fact, that science hasn't yet come up with a fabric as insulating as fur or feathers - one fellow I'm aware of as a friend of a friend, and I did correspond with him one time to ask him if he would help with a grandchild's class assignment dealing with traditional Eskimo customs, wears caribou hide that his wife made for him - sewn correctly, it's not only warm and waterproof, it breaths so sweat buildup isn't a problem - sorry if some of my references turn out to be such long stories, but what about a lining for the dog house cover that's lined with old down filled parka's, or old mink coats for those that have them, to isolate the heat from the driver's area?
