womans parka front and back

Alaska

this is a old fashioned eskimo parka of the yukon Kuskokwim delta, this is what will keep you warm when it is 20 below zero. i believe the lining is rabbit fur, the cuffs of the sleeve are Beaver, and the ruff is made of Wolverine in brown , and the wolf is the creamy colored with black tips. the wolf was cut in strips and layed out on a piece of leather backing to cause a sunburst effect, common on the Fancy parkas. the cloth in the old days was often the flour sacks this happens to be 4H fabric ...


other sizes: small medium large original auto
