In 1826, the City of Lowell, MA was founded and gave birth to the American Industrial Revolution.
Two hundred years later, we honor that legacy with a piece built for what’s next.
The 1826 Full-Zip Fleece is our official Bicentennial tribute — rooted in Lowell’s mill history but reimagined with more responsible materials. Crafted from 100% recycled two-tone jacquard fleece (9 oz / 310 gsm), it delivers structured warmth with a refined texture that feels both heritage-driven and modern.
At the heart of the piece is the 1826 leather patch made from reclaimed scrap leather, laser engraved, and hand-stitched in Lowell, Massachusetts. It’s a small but meaningful nod to sustainability, craftsmanship, and the city that built American industry.
Limited Bicentennial release.
Built for Community. Nature. Adventure.
