The Seminole favored a tight legging with a gaiter-like extension at the foot, and a similar surviving buckskin pair is attributed to the Cherokee. These latter could be of hand-woven wool with beads in geometric patterns, or of buckskin painted, beaded or quilled.

Leggings, of buckskin or wool, were generally hip-length and fastened to a thong or narrow belt around the waist, though some were shorter and supported by garters at the knee.

'Some had head coverings that were the skins from the heads of buffalo, bear, panthers, cougars, calves, etc., and quite a number wore the horns taken off with the hide of a buffalo, and others wore 110 head covering, only a single feather like it might be plucked from the tail of a turkey, eagle, buzzard, or anything else that the wearer might fancy, I noticed one old warrior on foot who carried a long full stock rifle, he wore leggings and mockasins in addition to his breech clout and a feather about four feet long that was taken from the tail of a peafowl was his complete wardrobe.'

Narrower woven sashes were also worn wrapped around the head, as were silk and cotton bandannas. Such turbans, brightly colored and fringed and often imported from Russia, were still worn and decorated with feathers and silver rings. In 1859, Grayson, who made a point of having his clothing 'cut and sewed by the tailor and in the prevailing style,' was embarrassed to be seen with his father, who habitually wore a turban fashioned out of a shawl.
