Vintage 1990s Patagonia Synchilla Fleece Duckbill Hat USA Made Red Blue Size M
Authentic vintage Patagonia Duckbill hat from the early–mid 1990s, featuring a classic Synchilla fleece crown with nylon Duckbill brim. This piece is Made in the U.S.A., a detail highly sought after by Patagonia collectors, as domestic production of headwear largely ended by the late 1990s.
Constructed using Fortrel EcoSpun recycled polyester, an early example of Patagonia’s commitment to sustainability during the brand’s formative years in recycled materials. The adjustable webbing strap with woven Patagonia logo, combined with the distinctive fleece/nylon Duckbill construction, firmly places this hat in the 1993–1997 era.
A true archive piece representing Patagonia’s golden age of functional, utilitarian design — increasingly difficult to find in this condition.
