NOMAR

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!

Not every NOMAR Brailer Bag is hauling salmon.

Originally developed for Alaska’s commercial fishing industry, these bags have also found a second life carrying seaweed, gear, lines, fenders, beach finds, and whatever else needs a tough, breathable place to live.

Built from heavy-duty UV-treated mesh with reinforced webbing, they’re designed for demanding work on the water, but their versatility is part of what keeps them around season after season.

This one is currently pulling duty aboard The Alaskan Gypsy.

What would you use one for?
