Animal fur worn next to the skin, the Red was the blood of the dead animal...certainly Celtic, for ceromanies around the Winter Soltice made a nice warm coat,
Celts welcome the Sun back around 25th December,as it took them a few day to figure out sun was coming back.
A little sacrifice is good around Yule is still a good idea.

The red is from King Wencelas' tunic who went out and gave gifts to the revolting peasants.
