I think eskimos will continue to wear coats, and the one's who don't were coats will freeze to death, so there would be no reason for evolution to favor your proposed adaptation.

However, they have adapted to the cold in other ways. Short statue, barrel chested, thick fat layer, all to preserve heat.
