The 1949 Jacket, based on the Pendleton 49’er Jacket

Vintage advertising image of the Pendleton 49er jacket by Ted Rand

One of Pendleton’s all-time favorite garments in the 49er Jacket, which debuted in 1949 as part of our first Women’s Sportswear collection. You can read about it here: the 49er

It has been called the 49’er, the ’49er, and the 49er (that apostrophe migrates like a songbird), and it’s a true Pendleton icon. But what do you call the ones you sew for yourself? That one is called the 1949 Jacket.
