This collar is a more contemporary design fashioned after the button robe. Seen as more versatile, this collar can be worn at formal gatherings and cultural events in place of the traditional vest or button robe.

"While teaching Beaded Hide Collars at the Totem Heritage Center this past spring, my students inspired me with their creativity so much that I made this collar after class. My brother-in-law Norman Jackson created this Killer Whale formline design specifically for me to make this collar. My late mother-in-law Esther Shea inspired me greatly in making Tlingit regalia, and her regalia pieces continue to inspire me."
