Among his kit were a hat of brown bear skin and a quiver made from roe deer.
Despite being well preserved and studied, the 5,300-year-old mummy's various leather items had not all been identified at the species level.
These findings, published in Scientific Reports, reveal a mix of wild-hunted animals with sheep, goat and cattle related to modern domestic breeds.
The researchers say this points to Copper Age people choosing carefully between different wild and domesticated animals when looking for materials to make their clothes.
But Oetzi's motley wardrobe, including a coat made from at least four separate goat and sheep hides, could also suggest a more haphazard and desperate approach - stitching together whatever scraps of skin were available.

A time when all men knew they were men and acted like men. Today liberal men are nothing , but little fairies who talk a tough game and then cry and bitch like a little girl while they act like a little girl.
Oetzi was murdered, by the way, and by someone he knew.

Seeing that the clothing was made of a mixture of domestic and wild animals’ skins, he may have been an ‘outsider’ and not a settler in a clan village.
His wound was in the back shoulder and could be indicative of ‘running away’.
He could possibly have been a thief, stealing domestic sheep, goats and cattle for food and clothing. The settled farmers got fed up with his praying upon their animals and they took action to stop him.
“His last meal was composed of ibex and red deer.” says the article, which would not indicate an agronimous diet of a settled villager.
He may have been escaping from the villagers’ wrath and subsequently died of hypothermia in an ice cave he hid in....................
If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is naked, clothe
him. Love one another. Have mercy.
Unfortunately for Outzi, that wisdom was 3000 years too late................
Another for the Arkancide list. Or PETA.
There must be a Sears type catalog buried somewhere that could be real useful in showing what products were available.

They are being nurtured to be weak, stupid, ingnorant, and incompetent so they can be exploited to enrich the libtard elite morelocks and dependent on them. Take a time machine into the far future and they will have eventually become the food of the morelocks.
He was not deemed to be running away, because he had just had a full meal, too large to have been consumed while in flight.
Oetzi also had with him a copper axe, the oldest one known in existence, that would have been a sign of great wealth and status. Had he been an outsider, the person who killed him would have certainly made off with the axe, UNLESS by being in possession of it, he would be making himself a suspect in the murder. He also broke off the shaft of the arrow in Oetzi’s back. That may well have been to prevent its being identified as one of the killer’s arrows had the body been found. He was covering his tracks.
