Breeches of cloth ...

Breeches of cloth, like the frock, were connected with leggings of tanned deer skin, which in turn extended over, and partly concealed, heavy cow-hide boots.

---- It seems to me that "frock" is something like a coat.
---- It says that both the breeches and the frock went together with the leggings that were made of tanned deer skin? And then the leggings were so long that they concealed his boots made of cow-hide?
