[quote=@Klomster] [@rezay] ah i got it. They use animals they find dead for their hides. Primarily for yurtas. As for some plant fibers, sure flax is kinda advanced, but making something a bit more fabric-like than the raincoat example should be possible. I mean, there's plants you just open up, drag out the strings inside and dry them. Makes rudimentary strings one can weave into things. Not full on dense fabric but certainly good for some clothes. But yeah, either they go naked or hides otherwise. And hunting for hides doesn't make massive sense. [/quote] Yeah— I think they'd end up slaughtering animals if there were a sudden need for pelts, but probably not unnecessarily. They would take them off members of their herds which had died, most of the time. The psychological difference I was referring to would be in hunting as a parasitic sort of relationship, while herding would be mutualistic. They'd have different perceptions of the practices. They don't have a huge physiological need for clothing (like humans do), being covered in fur and huge, but on a sexual/cultural level, modesty would be very important. They live in close-knit tribes in a really very harsh environment (grasslands being basically like deserts covered in grass— very dry, little vegetation or natural cover, not a lot of sources of nutrition), so they would definitely be very monogamous. Also, fashion. In a very stratified society, fashion is a good way to mark out different classes of people I'm sure they do make some primitive fabric-like things, but nothing durable enough or nothing being produced on a large enough scale to make clothing out of it, at least not when pelts/leather is available. But it is something which they'll probably start doing very soon.
