Tuolumne Wool Pile Jacket

Description

The very first pile jackets of the 70s were made from a polyester fabric originally intended for toilet seat covers. We decided to go a different route. The Tuolumne Wool Pile Jacket is made from 100% New Zealand Merino wool with a polyester backer. It features distinctive front sweep pockets, a full two-way reversible zipper for flexible styling and ventilation, and knit cuffs and hem to help seal out drafts. Early pile jackets were often constructed with the pile facing inward, while modern fleece usually puts it on the outside. We added a two-way reversible zipper so you can decide for yourself. Note that this jacket is called a pile jacket for a reason—it piles. If you're looking for a perfectly non-pilling fleece, you're in the wrong place. Beyond not wanting to pump this jacket full of chemicals, it's wool. It naturally pills with wear. We happen to think that's part of the charm. It gives the jacket the honest, broken-in character of the well-loved pile jackets that inspired it.
