Founded in 1920 in Seattle, Eddie Bauer is an American heritage brand that pioneered modern outdoor gear. The company’s namesake founder patented the first quilted down jacket, the Skyliner, in 1940 after a near-fatal bout of hypothermia. For over a century, the brand has outfitted historic expeditions—including the first American ascent of Mt. Everest—and remains a leader in durable, adventure-ready outerwear, performance fleece, and rugged flannels built for the “Everybody’s Wilderness.”
