In the 1980s, Montbell formed a business partnership with Patagonia and handled Patagonia products for several years. During that time, some Patagonia products were made in Japanese factories affiliated with Montbell. However, the sales of the Patagonia brand accounted for a quarter of the total, and Montbell, wanting to focus on its own brand, dissolved the business partnership with Patagonia after a few years. To promote its own brand, Montbell began opening its own directly managed stores in 1991. Including the still-popular Synchilla, the Patagonia products made by Montbell were only available during those few years, and naturally, there were few of them, so they rarely appear on the market. Currently, most of the Shelled Synchilla jackets circulating in the used clothing market are made in the USA. This Japanese-made Shelled Synchilla, with the Montbell factory number clearly indicated, is, I believe, very valuable. This Shelled Synchilla for sale is in beautiful condition, with no stains or scuffs, considering it is a product from the 1980s. (It has a vintage triangular tag.) Color: Emerald Green (Black Synchilla lining) *The color doesn't come out accurately on my smartphone, but it's a beautiful emerald green. Size: As shown in the photos Length: 64.5 cm Width: 54 cm *Usually, a Patagonia M is equivalent to a Japanese L, but because this is made in Japan, it is a Japanese M. *I cannot offer a discount, but I plan to lower the price over time. *Will be shipped via Yu-Packet Post. -
