This video shows me, the Alaskan artist, modeling my first reversible parka which I had custom sewn. This parka was eventually accepted as an original item for a Made In Alaska permit. It was during this time that I had taken the opportunity to present this parka to my first recipient from Hawaii who, as a coworker and new found friend visiting in Alaska, had suggested to me that a reversible parka is an appropriate Alaskan gift; and it was at my request as an Alaskan friend that I had received this response.
I, first, and then my friend had said, "Kona," Hawaii, the Big Island on the western coast near Kona International Airport where the parka was presented, November 9, 2009.
