Northern Light Ski School Retro

The Parka originated in the Arctic regions around Northern Russia and Alaska. Parkas were originally made from sealskin to protect against extreme arctic climates whilst hunting and kayaking, with the word “parka” deriving from the Aleut word for “animal skin.” While rarely made from animal skin these days, this highly functional design has easily found its place as a staple in wardrobes in colder climes.
