When the first prototype of this hoody showed up at a Teton campfire in the early ’80s, Patagonia was astonished and amused by the mill workers’ ingenuity: spinning polyester filament into high-pile shearling. Retro Pile is back but this time it’s double sided. Patagonia has extended the cozy fleece all the way through for next-to-the-skin luxury. The tall collar is incorporated into a 3-panel hood for extra warmth; spandex binding edges hood opening, cuffs, hem and center-front zip. Mesh-lined handwarmer pockets have grosgrain zipper pulls. Curved back yoke and paneled seams at the hem create a flattering, non-sheepish fit. Hip length. Fair Trade Certified™ sewing.
