Penfield, born in Hudson
The Penfield brand was founded in 1975 in Hudson, Massachusetts. It made a name for itself with its jackets, fleeces, and warm clothing, designed for the harsh winters of New England.
Its historical insulation system combined down and feathers in a four-to-one ratio.
The bear, the brand's emblem
The bear is the symbol of Penfield. It can be found on the Bear Chest Print sweatshirt, available in crew neck, hooded, or oversized styles, and on the Large P Bear Graphic Logo shorts.
The Hudson Script line
The Hudson Script line pays tribute to the brand's hometown, featuring a handwritten inscription. It comes in crew neck sweatshirts, hoodies, trousers, and joggers.
Warm pieces
The Outback sleeveless jacket, rereleased for the brand's anniversary, revisits one of its historical models. The quilted gilet with a funnel neck protects the neck, while the Forefront roll-neck sweater, with a quarter zip, keeps you warm.
Summer pieces
Printed pocket t-shirts and logo shorts extend the Penfield style into the sunny days.

Choosing your size
For a classic fit, go for your usual size. For an oversized effect, opt for the wide-fit models rather than sizing up.
Care instructions
Wash sweatshirts inside out at 30 degrees to preserve prints. Jackets and quilted gilets should be washed at low temperatures and dried with dryer balls.
