TGIF Shopping: Patagonia Launches Exclusive Snap-T Collection

By

High-end outdoor clothiers Patagonia have just launched the recreation of their iconic Snap-T pullover as part of an exclusive capsule collection.

First conceived as a technical fleece three decades ago, the Snap-T has managed to remain a staple thanks to its functionality and silhouette which includes the yoke, pocket shape and contrasting trims.

The idea to update the classic was simple: maintain the key features and beloved style details of the original while pursuing a cleaner line, including a new recycled-nylon fabric with a slight iridescence and recycled wool with subtle, sophisticated colors (61 of them, in fact).

“The original designer, Cyndi Davis, thinks part of the success of the Snap-T was that it was simple, clean, and often came in fun bright colors which were new and unusual at the time,” explains Patagonia Product Line Director, Mark Little.  “Its longevity is all probably for the same reasons, there are a lot of other look alike products at lower prices but we have only made the product better, by improving the fabrics, making the construction cleaner and simpler, improving the snaps to a stronger and higher quality. Just consistent quality and beautiful colors.”

The biggest updates are the materials they used to make them: traceable down, recycled polyester, recycled wool, and organic cotton. “Our designers have had fun mashing up different material combinations in the same classic style that has always been a favorite,” says Little. “Leveraging modern fabrics and materials with the original style takes an old classic and makes it new.”

The Snap-T is available in three different styles: the Down Snap-T Pullover (the diamond-quilted, heritage-inspired version), the Cotton Quilted Snap-T Pullover (the down-insulated, wind-resistant, quilted version) and the Reclaimed Wool Snap-T Pullover (the hooded version).

In addition, Patagonia created a timeline chronicling the history of the Snap-T on Patagonia.com.

The entire Fall ’15 Snap-T collection is available in 61 colorways, including 16 prints.

Smell your best with these great fragrances

You only get one chance to make a great first impression. That is why we dress nicely. That is why we groom ourselves expertly. And that is why you need to have a great cologne. You never know who you are going to meet, and you don't want to be caught in anything other than your best. You may be forgiven if your hair is a little long when you are on the trail. You may be forgiven for having a five o'clock shadow on Saturday afternoon. And you may not be punished for wearing jeans and a T-shirt at the movie theater. However, you will always be judged for not smelling good. That is why you need to invest in the best men's colognes.

Having a pleasant fragrance is more than smelling pleasant for those around you. It also attracts people to you and shows that you care about your hygiene. People will respond better and remember you fondly if your smell lingers. It is the most powerful scent tied to memory, so make sure you are remembered in 2024 with these top picks for colognes for men. We didn't go with all the big boys in the men's cologne industry. You will see one name that nearly everyone knows. But, we stuck more with the ones that you all should know. There is no Dior, no Polo, and no Gucci on this list. We didn't go for names. We went for quality fragrances and picks that will keep you remembered long after you leave.
