Now that the temperatures have really started to drop, The North Face and Pendleton joined together to come up with a capsule collection of winter wear that ensures consumers stay warm while maintaining their personal style preferences.
The collection combines both The North Face and Pendleton's aesthetics, with jackets and vests combining a soft wool fabric that features an array of artful geometric designs on some parts, and sleek black material on others. In addition to the insulated jackets and vests that feature this combination of materials and patterns, The North Face and Pendleton released a series of wool caps, comfortable slip-on shoes, and a versatile backpack.
All of the pieces can be purchased from The North Face's online store.
