Funny how no one seems to have an answer for this recurring question. I always understood that seal skin was traditional because seals were historically hunted in coastal Scotland and the Islands and the skins used for most everything. Canadian propoganda perhaps, but it makes sense.
Perhaps there's a modern-day coverup due to the high Euro- emotions (Euromotions) involved?
