Among the Makahs and their neighbours the Nootka, North Coast Salish and Central Coast Salish, men wore very little in summer. In winter they used a robe made from shredded cedar bark; women wore an apron and skirt of the same material. Woven capes lined with fur were worn by both sexes.

Rain was almost always present, so ponchos of cedar matting were used as raincoats and wide-brimmed hats were made of basketwork. Moccasins were not used because they quickly rotted in wet conditions.

As soon as trade blankets became available the Makah began to use them, as well as ready-made shirts, dresses and other trade items. The link below shows a Makah man in traditional native clothes about to go whaling:
