Some labels dominate a corner of the market to such an extent that they become almost synonymous with it. Patagonia, for example, is credited with creating the first piled, synthetic wool jackets that we now know as fleeces. When founder Yvon Chouinard began searching for an alternative to his favorite wool sweater which became heavy when wet and took too long to dry, he came across an acrylic pile fabric in Canada that inspired him. With the help of Patagonia’s seamstress, the first prototype of the synthetic fleece was made and, of course, it had a Patagonia label on it.
