“We've postmodernized a classic product from the days of dirt highways, woody station wagons and streamside pan-fried trout. The shirt jacket was then de rigueur: made of scratchy wool the thickness of chain mail, it nevertheless tendered consoling heft against cold-country weather. Our Synchilla version is considerably lighter on the shoulders, more supple and easier draping, and better at blocking wind and shedding moisture - but it does have the proper '40s authority and bold color and, like its wool ancestor, tails that can be worn tucked in or out. The fit is appropriately over-sized and genuinely unisex (women will find it works well with leggings). Details include a practical full-length zippered front (with non-corrosive metal zipper), generous zippered chest pockets and button cuffs” (Patagonia, Fall 1994).
