Eskimo made Beaver mitts

I recently sent a lady of Eskimo heritage 7 of my beaver pelts to get mittens made. I had these professionally tanned at Moyles in Idaho. These are the best mittens I've ever put on my hands! Phenomenal craftsmanship, warm as all get-out. If any of you have tanned pelts ready for garments, I highly recommend Debbie for this. Her contact info is in the pics.

Them are way cool.

Cool mitts but how many hands have you got?

I got friends in low places!

Very nice!

Moosetrot

Very nice ! What is the material in the palm ?

Is she in the lower 48 ?

She must be if the area code is 210. That's not up here

210 is a Texas area code.

Yes! We need more friends in low places!

Very nice work. What does she charge?

She might be the only Eskimo in Texas!

They sure look warmer than these Winter Calvary Gauntlets!

Are those horse hide ?

Cow

Wholey .......or just partly ?

Those are some very cool mittens! What did it cost to have her sew? I am looking to get a few pairs made

Outstanding Beaver Mitts

The OP said sent to a woman of Eskimo heritage. Never said in Ak.

Good grief



Beautiful Mitts

Whole as far as I know.

Holy cow ?

HA! . . . I thought you meant are they made totally of cow hide. :-)

She charged me $75 to sew, plus $10 for the leather palm and interior felt. I'm telling you, these are high end mitts!

I remember showing these to you with Kaiya wearing them!

210 is San Antonio and incase nobody has told you guys the whole world is movin' to Texas. She might be the kind we like but for every one of her there are two from back east and 4 or 5 from California. We need a fence on all 4 sides I swear

$85 per hat/mitt. Includes sewing and other material. Some of the best I've seen at a great price.

Lovely mitts and warm !

Yes SJA I remember that shot of Kaiya with them !

When the cold gets serious, those mitts are the ticket .

210 may be the area code for the San Antonio area of Texas. All that means is that is where she got her phone number originally. With today’s fancy high tech stuff, you can take your phone number with you when you move. Including your area code. She could be in Alaska or Hawaii or Maine. Phone number doesn’t change.

Just saying........

Very nice. I'm assuming wall hangars? Not the deep cold in Wi. that we get in Alaska. Xcellent price,I'd say.

Wall hangars?? Not sure what that means..

Cold hands need gloves ......

I think Martentrapper is saying those might be too warm for your climate.

Your not turning into Captain Obvious in your old age......are you ...lol

He was just saying.. Im from Alaska, you're not

area code means nothing any more

people move and they just keep their cell phone and number

Where is her contact info?

Very nice looking mittens. Very good price too. I'm assuming they will hang on a wall somewhere in your house as a decoration. Pretty sure you can get good mittens locally for actually using in the times it is cold enough to use mittens.
That style of mitten used to be common here in Alaska when dog teams were the norm and before snogo came with hot grips. They were tied to a chord and then crossed behind your back when you needed to use your hands.
Snogo are the norm and large mittens are not seen on trappers hands so much anymore.

Idiot strings ! Mine are still like that. They are great for the trapline or hunting in cold weather. Just shake off the mitten and shoot quickly or cross them behind your back to tend a trap. You can't lose them that way

would y'all let ME in?

SD is more appealing to me

What kind of ammo would you be bringin?

what do you need?

Should donate a pair to Bernie.
