This video lays out a few basic methods to figure out what year a Patagonia fleece or jacket was made and how to determine whether or not it is true vintage (20+ years old).
Disclaimer: This video is no way near a complete. There are tons of nuances but will help with most pieces! A lot of these methods can be used for other articles of clothing but in video we specifically focus on fleece just to try and keep it simple.
This video does not cover Style # and how to find out the model names of specific Patagonia jackets. Felt a little too complicated and didn't want to make video too long and dry. If you want to see a in depth video on that let as well as dating vintage using where it was made (USA, Columbia, Jamaica, etc) let us know in the comments!
My goal with this video is to empower collectors and resellers with a bit of base knowledge on tag dating. It is by far one of the most asked questions we get on Instagram and I hope it's helpful. My goal for 2021 is to give back in a small way and share some of the knowledge I've accumulated over the years collecting and obsessing. Patagoniac for life!
Planning on making a lot more content focused on outdoor vintage gear and its history as well as some thrifting/reseller content. Whatever feels right at the time! Subscribe now to support the dream!
