Merchandise Monday: Patagonia Reinvents Snap-T Pullover With New Fall Styles
Patagonia has recreated the iconic Snap-T pullover in six exclusive styles for Fall ‘15, using innovative material combinations to represent Patagonia’s dedication to tinkering and design evolution – and to celebrate the stories and history that are intrinsically woven into the fabric of each Snap-T.
The Fall ‘15 exclusive collection celebrates the Snap-T pullover. Just like the original Snap-T, every piece in the Snap-T collection is beautifully rendered, versatile, true to its roots and built to last for years. Mashed up with Traceable Down, recycled wool, recycled polyester, and organic cotton, Patagonia’s designers have created something new and special, evolved but unchanged for Fall ‘15 – while knowing that the one scrunched up in the trunk of the car will always be a favorite.
“When the Snap-T was initially created in 1985, it was the most technical fleece and the best insulation available,” said Helena Barbour, Patagonia’s Business Unit Director, Sportswear. “It has retained the same functionality, features and classic silhouette over the years, but we are constantly evolving it, challenging our processes, experimenting with fabrics. The new collection pays homage to the heritage of the Snap-T and to Patagonia’s designers who continue to improve the style, fit, materials and quality.”
