A mottled ochre leather shirt features long, light tan fringes hanging from the sleeve undersides, side seams, and hem. Laid flat, rectangular sleeves extend outward from the body. A large V-shaped fringe bib hangs from the neckline over the chest. Borders of small light blue and red beads trim the neck and sleeve cuffs. The garment displays a textured, worn appearance with rhythmic leather strips throughout.
