Fun Fashion Fact
It is said that Eddie Bauer invented the first puffer jacket, encasing down feathers within quilted fabric, in 1936 after developing hypothermia on a Winter fishing trip in Washington. In 1940, he “patented the first quilted goose down-insulated jacket in the United States, and introduced it in his store as ‘The Skyliner’.”
