Before becoming a fashion brand, Abercrombie & Fitch was the go-to supplier for explorers, adventurers, and American presidents. Founded in New York in 1892, it outfitted Theodore Roosevelt for his legendary 1909 African expedition. In its golden age, its twelve-story flagship store on Madison Avenue housed a shooting range and a pool for fly-fishing lessons.
This jacket comes from that era. It is crafted from Byrd Cloth, the tightly woven cotton poplin created for Admiral Byrd’s Antarctic expeditions: windproof, water-repellent, and built to withstand the most extreme conditions on the planet.
“Personalized” piece: the labels with the original owner’s name, “Eliot Brady,” are still legible on the collar and interior lining.
A piece of American outdoor history, still wearable today.
Fabric: Byrd Cloth (high-density cotton poplin). Removable wool interior lining.
Main Conmar zipper and Talon zipper for removing the lining.
Era: 1940s
Condition: excellent, shows slight fabric discoloration and small imperfections.
