Penfield was established in Massachusetts in 1975 and have built a reputation for making the highest quality down-filled jackets, fleece and outerwear. Since its inception and after their jackets became a closet staple for many Americans in the 1980s, Penfield had been on hiatus for more than a decade but was finally revived in Europe in 2005. Although the roots of the label still lie within the great outdoors of New England ("For Life in the Open" is their slogan), years of experience have allowed the brand to extend their business further and broaden their market. The brand has a long tradition of special collaborations and private label development (LL Bean, Capelas) that continues today with the brand’s ongoing collaborations not only across the top tier of streetwear and progressive menswear labels such as Rag & Bone, Wood Wood, Duckie Brown, Stussy, Limoland, Staple, MHI/Maharishi etc. but also with high-end boutiques around the world such as Colette (France), Edifice (Japan), The Glade (Germany)... Penfield garments are designed to stand up to the demands of the New England climate and are made by people who know and love the outdoors. Fashion, function, practicality and durability are the key elements incorporated into every design. Penfield will give you warmth in a variety of weather conditions, active comfort without restrictions, and years of superior performance. Penfield down-filled product has consistently set new standards within the outdoor industry. Naturally breathable Teflon™ and DWR coated down-proof outers are tremendously strong, yet crisp in hand and colour, shed water easily and provide the focus for a product that appeals to a wide range of outdoor enthusiasts. Penfield works constantly to improve and develop new fabric and garment innovations, exemplified in the 'Black Bear Series' product with features to protect you in the most extreme conditions.
