These pellets are melted and extruded to make fiber which is processed into fabric, and then making of sportswear can begin! Recycled polyester products reduce waste and require less energy to produce than virgin fibers. Then, they are washed, crushed and chopped into flakes and melted into pellets. At first, plastic waste is picked up and sorted out by type and color. Recycled polyester is usually made from old plastic bottles and fishing nets collected from our oceans.

The pocket's off-center flap and button, coincidentally enough, mirrors that offbeat solution. That way, a pair of sunglasses would settle into a diagonal position away from the armpit. Kettenhofen designed the problem away himself, explains Davis, by placing an angled point in the pocket that slanted away from the armpit. "When you did that, the glasses migrated to your armpit - very uncomfortable." "He groused that when you were wearing our fleece with a square chest pocket, and it became windy on the water and spray started to fly, you had to take off your sunglasses and quickly put them in your chest pocket," recalls Cyndi Davis, Patagonia's special projects development manager. Early fleeces had a square one, which bothered Bob Kettenhofen, a designer who put together Patagonia's first sailing collection. Yet Patagonia's first fleece prototype didn't have one at all.Īnd how complex can a pocket be, anyway? Perhaps not very, unless you design functional outdoor clothing for a living. Other than some climate-controlling buttons at the neck and the fabric's lightness, immunity to waterlogging and ability to maintain warmth when it does get wet, the pocket is the fleece pullover's only really notable component. That origin story, however, skips an overlooked element: the front chest pocket. Years later, the company worked with Malden Mills, now Polartec, to create a lighter, softer version that didn't pill up after laundering, and dubbed it Synchilla. As the story goes, he pulled inspiration from the synthetic sweaters North Atlantic fishermen favored, but it was his wife, Malinda, who found something similar at a store in LA's garment district - a roll of fabric destined to become toilet seat covers. Synchilla's origin lies in Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard's search for an alternative to the wool sweaters that mountain climbers typically wore.
