Originally, Mi'kmaq clothing was made from the fur and skins of mammals, birds and even fish. The skins were tanned using animal brains, bird livers and oil, and by smoking. A long tanning process of stretching and working the skins produced beautiful fur and leather. Awls made of bone were used to make holes in the leather for sewing. Animal sinew, separated into fine strands, served as thread. Leggings made of moose, caribou or seal hide were tied at the hip to a leather girdle. leather girdles also supported a form of loin cloth made of very soft skin. Moccasins were made of moose or seal skin.

Clothing was made from the skins of mammals, birds and fish. The skins were tanned using animal brains, bird livers and oil, and by smoking. A long process of stretching and working the skins produced beautiful fur and leather. Bone awls were used to make holes in the leather for sewing. Animal sinew, separated into fine strands, served as thread.. Men's garments included a loose robe of fur or skin worn blanket-like over the shoulders, open in front and falling to the knees. Leggings of moose, caribou or seal hide were tied at the hip to a leather girdle. The leather girdle also supported a loin cloth of very soft skin. Moccasins of moose or seal skin, a tobacco pouch, and various accessories completed the clothing. Women wore similar robes, wrapped around the body under the arms like a bath towel. These robes were belted at the waist and fell to below the knees. Thongs over the shoulders acted as suspenders. Women also wore leggings and moccasins and carried tobacco pouches. Children wore a smaller version of the adult costume. Babies were wrapped in the softest skins of fox, swan or goose.

Mi'kmaq clothing was decorated with geometric patterns and designs of birds, beasts and humans. Pigments used for painting were red and yellow ochre from the earth, charcoal and ground white shell. These were mixed with fish roe or bird egg yolks. Animal fat was mixed with pigments to paint the body. Animal teeth, claws, bone and quills were sewn onto clothing, and feathers were sometimes used as ornaments. Men might wear a bird wing on either side of the head. Dyes for decorating quills came from roots, bark, leaves and flowers. When Europeans came to North America the Mi'kmaq traded with them, receiving cloth, ribbons and beads in exchange for furs and meat. They found new ways to use quills and moose hair on cloth, and worked ribbon and beads into traditional designs.

By the 19th century the woman's costume included a beaded peaked cap and a woolen skirt.
