Fleece’s story starts in the 1970s, when designers and climbers, fed up with heavy wool insulators, sought a synthetic alternative that was lighter, more weather-resistant, and easier to move in. An early prototype repurposed a bolt of polyester pile fabric intended for toilet seat covers. After a bit of trial and error, the adaptation proved successful, but its creators declined to patent it, intentionally letting everyone else in on their invention. Now, five decades later, fleeces are an essential part of any cold-weather kit. Inspired by those early, inventive pullovers, our bestselling Tahr Fleece Jacket uses a custom waffle pile our product team developed to deliver reliable warmth without added weight. 


Through Wythe, founder Peter Middleton draws on skills inherited from stints at Faherty and Ralph Lauren to capture the spirit of the American West. With this approach, his pieces feel pulled from the closets of old ranchers who call Wyoming or New Mexico home—flannel work shirts softened by years of hard wear and denim pearl-snap
shirts faded from the high-desert sun. Rooted in Middleton’s obsession with custom-crafted textiles, Wythe’s takes on classic American workwear and Western styles resurrect what was lost to commercialized manufacturing in the latter half of the 20th century—restoring soul to American aesthetics long emptied of it.
