Warm, comfortable and waterproof.
But sure... it was all about status.
Honestly I have to wonder if these people have ever been outside.

No mention in the excerpt that the Vikings may have procured the beaver pelts from Greenland during their travels/settlements.
The beaver pelts would have been rare if only the Vikings had them.
Unless the Vikings raided Eurasia to get the pelts.
