Brand Profile: Penfield

The prospect of going back to school sucks, but at least you have the chance to get fresh in some new gear. One brand to keep in mind is Penfield, a Massachusetts based company inspired by Autumn. Since Penfield launched in 1975, it’s become the pride of New England fashion with its quality line of goose down jackets and windbreakers, especially in the wet/snowy region where it’s needed most.

But now the timeless, respected brand is making a name in the streetwear world. In 2007, their collaboration with Alife Rivington Club consisted of bold-colored jackets that harked back to ’90s style puffy coats. Penfield also crossed designer paths with Stussy and Maharishi with cool camo print graphics to match their rustic signature. See more products from Spring/Summer ‘08 and Autumn/Winter ‘08 below.
