A Qaspeq (various spellings but qaspeq is the traditional and way to spell it in Yupik) is a shirt that is made out of calico (or other) fabric that is kind of like a thinner sweatshirt. It has a hood and a pouch pocket and is trimmed in ribbon or lace or most often rick rack.
Kuspuk is how you pronounce it, so sometimes it is written that way.
I bought one at the last Saturday Market that is purple and has black and purple Celtic knot ribbon for trim.
