GlendaleCruiser Posted August 21, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I was recently in Skagway and went into a store that sold a very distinct style of jacket with an Athabascan Alaskan style. I wish I had gotten one and cannot find a website for them. The one I like was red with black and white design on it. Does anyone remember that store or have a card/website for them? Also, I saw purses in the same or a nearby store that were a red woven material and wish I had stopped in there, too....... Anyone have a link to either of them?

bearbait Posted August 21, 2012 #2 Share Posted August 21, 2012 What's the name of the store? Maybe we can find a phone number for them so you can call them. If's it a locally owned store they may not have a website. Most all of the shops close in the off season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlendaleCruiser Posted August 21, 2012 Author #3 Share Posted August 21, 2012 That's the problem. I can't remember the name of the store. Loved what I saw but got distracted and thought, "I'm going to go back and look there". Think it might have been two stores: One with purses and the other with the jackets and cute Alaska sweatshirts, kind of upscale. As you look at the main street in Skagway from the port they are on the left (East?) side of the street. If someone is going there soon, I would appreciate the information. I could even write to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Aurora Posted August 21, 2012 #4 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Fairbanks is in the middle of the Athabascan cultural area. The traditional Athabascan style jacket is either fur or smoked moosehide. Since the jacket you saw was red woven fabric with black and white I am wondering if you saw a Tlingit style jacket. Have you tried a google search of Tlingit clothing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiserny Posted August 21, 2012 #7 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I bought a beautiful woven purse in a shop called Loom. They didn't sell jackets and I don't remember if there was a clothing store nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
