Wool Cashmere facings and a Checkered Dobby Rayon lining. Teddy shearling is a longer, denser fur-like lamb’s shearling.   The Gatekeeper is an archival Pendleton design, originally introduced in 1935; rooted in Pendleton’s storied heritage, the pattern centers around an eight-pointed star — a symbol often found in Lakota tradition, representing the Morning Star, the “gatekeeper of the day,” guiding the way toward light and knowledge. This design is a classic example of a Centerpoint pattern, defined by its balanced symmetry and a central motif aligned within a bold horizontal band — a hallmark of Pendleton’s early masterworks.   Lindsey Thornburg allocates a portion of sales to Native American organizations, such as Chizh for Cheii, NDN Collective and Seeding Sovereignty.
