Notes: An extremely rare vintage Patagonia Hi-Loft Goose Down Sweater from F/W 1988 in great well-loved preowned vintage condition with signs of heavy wear. Signs of wear include two green repair patches on the back-right sleeve as seen in photo 2. Introduced in F/W 1988, this was the original Patagonia Hi-Loft Down Jacket model.
“The Down Sweater is a clean rendition of the classic, lightweight down jacket. The density of the down varies from shoulder to waist: a higher density in the chest and shoulders warms the vulnerable upper body, while below, where there are pockets (and thus a double layer), there is less density of fill. A side effect of this density variation is that we avoided the Bartlett-shape look so common in down garments. Attention has been given to fit. The Y-Joint™ sleeves allow free, non-binding arm movement. Under the arm is a long panel, rather than baffles, so you avoid looking like a doughboy. The quilting seam lines on the sweater offset those on the vest, so when you layer the two together you won't have any cold spots. The down-filled collar is contoured to wrap up and around the back of your neck; it's fitted and overlapped at the front to keep your chin warm. The lightweight zipper ends below the chin so you won't freeze yourself to the zipperstop. It's protected by a storm flap. The wrists and waist are trimmed in Lycra® to seal out drafts and allow easy layering over the sweater. Down filled pockets are protected with flaps. The sweater has its own stuff sack” (Patagonia, Fall 1989).
Please carefully review product descriptions, photos, and measurements before purchasing to ensure a proper fit and satisfaction. Please note that items for sale are vintage/pre-owned in nature, with most being previously worn. Each garment is carefully inspected during the listing process for imperfections/flaws which are then photographed and/or noted in the item's description. See the “Condition Ratings” tab for more information.
Please refer to the measurements included in the description to ensure a proper fit, as vintage sizing frequently differs slightly from modern sizing. Sizes listed in the product title are based on the “best fits a” size rather than the tag size. To ensure a proper fit, we strongly recommend comparing the provided measurements to a similar garment of your own that fits to your liking. For more information, visit the “How to Measure” tab.
