FAQs
Common questions we get asked about our custom parkas.
How long will it take to receive my custom Arctic Luxe parka?
Custom parkas typically take 4–8 weeks depending on the season, design complexity, and material availability. We’ll confirm your expected timeline during your consultation.
Can I make payments over time instead of paying all at once?
Yes. We require 50% down to start, or you can choose to split the balance into three flexible payments.
What types of materials and trims do you offer for custom parkas?
We use culturally sourced furs, hides, and liners selected from trusted Alaskan vendors. Options vary by season but always honor traditional practices.
How does the fitting process work if I live outside Alaska?
You'll provide a winter coat that fits you well. Bobby offers remote sizing guidance to ensure a personalized fit no matter where you live.
Can I customize the style, color, or fur trim of my parka?
Yes. You can customize details like trims (fox, wolverine, etc.) and color options for an additional fee, discussed during your consultation.
