Takatoshi Akutagawa, an expert of outdoor activities who is familiar with this series of articles in this magazine. Now, let’s talk about the charm of the Snap T over many years. The charm of the Snap T talked about by outdoor enthusiasts who have been using the Snap T for many years. It can be said that the Snap T has evolved into a product that is more environmentally friendly and people-friendly, without changing its appearance. More recently, they have been working on a Fair Trade Certified program to improve the working conditions for clothing workers. In 1993, it was the first outdoor company to work on recycling by making fibers from collected PET bottles and making them into products, and from the following year, Snap T was also made from recycled materials.Īfter that, Patagonia promoted the use of recycled polyester, such as collecting fleece products, and now all the fleece used in the Snap T collection is 100% recycled material. It wasn’t initially attached to the Lightweight Snap T, which was added in the ’90s (both now have pockets).īut to think the Snap T hasn’t evolved at all since then, is a mistake. The only change in the appearance of the standard Snap-T is the addition of a distinctive chest flap pocket since 1989. Snap T that evolves even if the design does not change. Despite this the design has survived without changing its appearance. Of course, the lightness achieved by not using a zipper and the good storage capacity were also excellent elements of technical wear, but above all, its pop and stylish looks gained the support of many people, and the existence of this product made Patagonia what they are today.īecause people want to wear comfortable clothing at any time, Snap T has expanded its field of activity as functional daily wear, and even as technical wear for outdoor sports. However, it can be said that the matching of the design of the Snap T with the texture and coloring was excellent. Some of the Cinchilla lineups had an orthodox open front, and there were pullover types other than the Snap T. And one of the first Cinchilla products to appear in 1985 was the Snap T. However, they overcame these issues and succeeded in developing a high-performance fabric that is now widely known as fleece. Patagonia has been developing fleece fabrics made from polyester with textile manufacturer Molden Mills since the 1970s.Įarly fleeces were excellent in lightness, warmth, and quick-drying, but they also had various problems such as one-sided brushing, low strength, and pilling. This time, let’s focus on the latest collection while looking back on the history of the Snap T. Originally born as an innovative outdoor sportswear, Snap-T eventually established itself as a functional daily wear and blended into the city life from the outdoors.
