The "Snap T" is a Patagonia classic that has never stopped evolving.
Patagonia's famous "Snap T" was created in 1985. The Snap T was born from the joint development with Morden Mills (now Polartec) of a fabric that is as warm as wool, lightweight, and quick-drying.
The distinctive snap buttons at the neck promote ventilation, the stand-up collar warms the neck, and the polyurethane piping on the cuffs and hem prevents cold air from entering. As noted in Kaneko's interview above, there were no pockets on the chest in the beginning, and starting in 1989, flap pockets were added to prevent belongings from falling out of the pockets when rolling to the side, thus giving rise to the brand's current iconic design.
. but it's not just the design that sets them apart, it's also what's inside. In 1993, Patagonia became the first outdoor company to manufacture products from used plastic bottles, and since 1994, the Snap T has been made from recycled polyester. This has reduced our dependence on petroleum as a raw material, and at the same time, we have succeeded in reducing greenhouse gas emissions during the manufacturing process by utilizing waste materials.
