NOMAR Anything and everything involving sewing since 1978. Apparel, bags, commercial fishing gear, boat enclosures, boat upholstery, zipper repairs, and more!

In 1978, NOMAR opened its doors as Mitchell's Marine Canvas & Upholstery. At that time, Homer's population was about 2,000 people and Alaska had been a state for less than 20 years. Alaska -- all eight million square miles only had a population of 300,000. We were not really pioneers. Our reasons for making Alaska home were based more on personal freedoms and great fishing more than anything else. A converted GMC school bus was our shop, a barrel stove for heat and a single commercial sewing machine for manufacturing was enough to open the doors. With a sprinkling of talent and a healthy dose of guts, we nurtured that first business until it grew to 16 diverse an talented employees, numerous sewing machines and 10,000 square feet of work space. We now have a beautiful retail store where visitors and locals alike love to browse, shop and design that custom item to perfectly fit their needs. We invite you to shop on-line or, if you are in Homer, stop in and visit our retail store located in one of the prettiest places on earth!

103 nautical miles by skiff + 8 miles on foot. Now that’s a Southeast Alaska adventure! 🙌

September on the west coast of Chichagof Island, with NOMAR gear along for the ride.

Our scabbards are built for this: loaded into the skiff, hauled onto the beach, and carried into some pretty wild corners of Alaska.

Thanks Sitka Alaska Photography for sharing these incredible shots!
