"Underneath the anorak the Inuit wear warm clothes." Well, this is really essential information. I'd never have guessed that. --KF 17:37 Dec 4, 2002 (UTC)
I believe this information should be added: In the rest of the word, as in Interlingua, anorak is the most common word. (I am not 100% sure, but I found Anorak in an Interlingua dictionary. www.interlingua.com )

[edit] Traditional or Modern?
Hey, I'm in Northern Manitoba... Would you like a picture of a traditional Inuit Anorak, Modern Parka, or both? I'll get my Photography class working on it... and a great many other things. Weaponofmassinstruction 02:03, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Both would be ideal! But it probably won't be too hard to find a photo of a modern parka on the Web (or take one in a suitably cold city) while a traditional Inuit parka will be much harder. --Andrew 19:08, Mar 6, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] 'fun fur'?
What the devil is 'fun fur'?
fun fur is fake fur, at least here in ny
and please do post the photos of modern parkas. it isn´t easy to find many photos online actually.
[edit] Shell suits
Whenever I hear on British TV or film shell suit I wonder if there's a connection with parkas and anoraks - is there? — Hippietrail 17:47, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] www.anorak.co.uk has nothing to do with clothing
www.anorak.co.uk has nothing to do with clothing, shouldn't it be removed?
[edit] Aleut?
The OED gives the origin of parka as "Nenets" via Russian. Is that the same thing?
[edit] Germany?
What's the deal with the little German flags a lot of these coats have stitched on the shoulder? Bastie 17:38, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
