In this image, Anton "Tony" Collins, head designer at Sportcaster, Inc., displays skiwear made by the company. The garment displayed by Collins is a "ski-all," a full length jumpsuit made of waterproof nylon; vests and jackets hang on a rack in the background.

Sportcaster was founded in 1940 by Marvin Burke and Larry Mounger, and manufactured sports clothes, uniforms, and skiwear in Seattle. Burke bought out Mounger (who would go on to found Pacific Trail) and ran the business until his death in 1988.
