One vital piece of this jigsaw is the cosy addition of the fleece. Durable and ecologically friendly, fleece fabrication dates back to the late 1970’s with the first producer being Malden Mills, in Massachusetts. Revolutionary at the time, it was a turning point in fabric construction as it was regarded as both lightweight and warm, something rarely achieved back then. The significance of this caught the eye of one man, Yvon Chouinard – the founder of then-new company, Patagonia. Together with Malden Mills, Chouinard brought fleece to the adult market for the very first time.
This helped put fleece on the map, defining that specific outdoors aesthetic and contributed to the modern-day shift. The fleece is now considered a four seasons garment, where dressing for comfort has become the norm, SEVENSTORE offer up a collation of their best fleece collection, perfect for a seemingly ever-lasting pandemic.

ARIES – REVERSIBLE PARKA
