The Communal Fleece. Hanna Ball. Malibu, CA.

Dear Patagonia,

I practically grew up in this groovy patterned fleece;  I trotted around the house in it as a toddler, as the bottom just barely grazed the floor.  I used it as a sleeping bag on camping trips, like the one pictured above— as soon as my mom took it off I apparently snatched it and refused to let go for the rest of the trip.  I’m not too sure if it is my mom’s or my dad’s, looking back at photos they seem to wear it equally— which is why I have named it the Communal Fleece.  Leaving for college this past Fall, it was unquestionable that I had to have the Communal Fleece with me up in Portland.  So I did what I had to do to secretly squirrel it away with the rest of my belongings.  Now, safely with me, I never leave it behind on my travels around the Pacific Northwest.  This fleece is more than just a piece of apparel to me, it represents the bond between my parents and I, our adventures together, and adventures to come— I hope to pass it down to my kids and truly carry on the tradition of the Communal Fleece.

Crafted for the outdoors, but ready for anything

“As the days get longer and the temperature slowly works its way above the freezing point more and more each day, I find myself finally ditching those puffy, insulated jackets that seem to be the winter protocol in State College. And on these mild, pre-spring days, there’s nothing I love more than throwing on a sweater at the beginning of the day and comfortably being able to wear it until my day is finished. Granted, the period of time where this is my go-to choice of clothing doesn’t last as long as I’d like it to, so I make sure to capitalize on it every chance that I get.”  Levi Opsatnic (с)

“At a time when the entire mountaineering community relied on the traditional, moisture-absorbing layers of cotton, wool, and down, we looked elsewhere for inspiration – and protection. We decided that a staple of North Atlantic fishermen, the synthetic pile sweater, would make an ideal mountain layer, because it would insulate well without absorbing moisture.”  Patagonia (c)

“Thirty years after the Patagonia label first appeared, we continue to make the best product. The pace of innovation during the most recent five-year period has been one of our most significant. We have developed body-mapped, or variable-knit Capilene® base layers that, through their thoughtful construction, wick moisture more efficiently and allow the wearer more freedom of movement.” Patagonia (c)

New Purchase: Patagonia Re-Tool Snap-T Fleece Pullover

I went out to brunch with a friend today on the Lower East Side and on our way to the subway station we popped into REI, where I was lucky enough to find a whole rack of Patagonia Snap-Ts on clearance for $88 (down from $120)! I just love shopping for items out of season because it’s a great way to find deals. It feels like everyone at Colgate has one of these, and it had been on my wish list of…

Still Kickin’. Ginny Lefler. Sharpsburg, Maryland. 

“This Snap-T was my Mom’s. She bought it with her first fire department paycheck when she was about twenty-five. I’ve had it for two years. She and my Father both handed down their first Patagonia purchases to my sister and I a couple years ago on Christmas. It’s one of my favorite things. It’s in great shape... about thirty years old and still kicking!”
