Introducing Penfield's Trailwear Collection For Fall/Winter 2010.

Thu, 21 Oct 2010 15:10:06 +0000

The Penfield Trailwear label was created in the 1970’s – it is a range that symbolizes the heritage and quality of those early years, and the spirit of what Penfield still stands for. It also comprises an important part of our Fall/Winter 2010 collection, and as a result offers up some of the most interesting Penfield pieces to date.

A new addition that sees the culmination of much of Penfield's best attributes is the DANVILLE, a diamond quilted insulated trail jacket with tonal corduroy collar, internal gingham shoulder yoke and the versatile Hudson Wax Cloth throughout.

Another new style is the FOXCROFT, a mid-weight goose down jacket that shows both the brand’s appreciation for its aesthetic tradition and growing influence in the high-end market. With a MELTON wool exterior, Hudson Wax Cloth patch-detailing on the shoulders and elbows, and front storm flap, the Foxcroft is in many ways symbolic of the great Massachusetts outdoors.

The Stapleton Vest makes a rudimentary appearance of course in Navy, Fossil, Tan and Black among other seasonal colors and fabrics, with leather yoke and color contrast lining.

A strong offering in shirting and knitwear also makes this season's Trailwear collection stand out, with the Chatham putting in a veteran showing alongside the Merrimac flannels and the Bayfield, a 100% wool knitted shawl collar sweater with wood and loop neck detail.

This is your everyday wear, a collection that will truly see you through the harshest of conditions with an air of rugged durability, words that have come to be representative of Penfield's lasting commitment to quality outerwear, garmentry and enduring style.

Penfield's Trailwear collection draws inspiration from our 1970's archives.

Fall/Winter 2010 Collection Now Available Online And In Stores.

Anchored by a versatile mix of staple and heritage silhouettes, including the instantly-recognizable Stapleton, Rockford and Kasson styles, our Fall/Winter 2010 Collection is our most comprehensive line to date; we are very proud to announce that it also marks our 35th Anniversary as an authentic outdoor apparel brand.

This collection is brought together by a classic autumnal color palette and several signature fabric stories by way of Penfield Tweed and Hudson Wax Cloth, a woven poly-cotton blend with a dry wax impregnation that is not only windproof, but water-repellent, as well.

With the addition of the brand new Hoosac expedition parka, Foxcroft and Lakeville mountain jackets among others, our Fall/Winter 2010 range of outerwear spans many styles and functions, alongside knits, shirts, pants and accessories, all of which maintain our original design statement: “For Life in the Open.”

This season also sees an expansion of our three main collections, including a Black Bear line emphasizing contemporary design and technical innovation and new styles added to both Penfield Trailwear and Classic collections.

Our Women's line has also been extended into a wider-ranging collection than ever before, with classic Penfield styles such as the Millis, Kasson and Stapleton reinterpreted into women’s silhouettes.

Penfield Fall/Winter 2010 Collection.

The founding principles of fashion, function, practicality and durability still resonate clearly in today’s collection, 35 years after the brand’s inception. To commemorate this 35th Anniversary, we have developed a limited edition leather Outback vest. Since its original release in the late 1970’s, the Outback vest has been a staple across all of Penfield’s winter collections, and is now recognized not only as a great functional outdoor vest, but also a popular, highly sought-after fashion piece.

Proudly celebrating 35 years of "Life in the Open", we are once again committed to bringing you the best of fashion, function, practicality and durability for this Winter.

To commemorate this milestone in our company's celebrated heritage, we have decided to re-issue a classic from our archives: the original Outback. This strictly-limited anniversary edition is made out of 100% calf leather outer and padded with 210g of premium 80/20 goose down.

Classic details such as front snap closure, shoulder yoke, internal plaid yoke and handwarmer pockets keep the vest classic – just the way it was loved.

First released in the late 1970's, the Outback Vest has become a staple style in our Winter collections and its continued popularity justifies its inclusion cold season on cold season. The Outback Vest exemplifies the ethos of what it is to be Penfield - a classic look, unsurpassed garment quality, and eminent style. The Outback embodies the spirit of our brand and illustrates clearly what we stand for.

35th Anniversary Outback - Extract from our FW2010 Lookbook.

The Outback is revered as one of the most recognizable styles available in Penfield's rich history and has been celebrated globally through the collaborative efforts that have been undertaken. Eminent names such as Colette, Stüssy and Edifice have all recognized the versatility of the Outback as a durable yet fashionable piece.

There is no doubt in our minds that the Outback Vest will see out the next 35 years and beyond in the same understated yet classic swagger that has seen it conquer since 1975. In a world where trends fall by the wayside we choose to celebrate style; it never goes away and it is always relevant.
