In 1957, Yvon Chouinard founded Chouinard Equipment (the predecessor to Patagonia), manufacturing and selling rock climbing equipment. He set up a workshop in his backyard and drove the equipment he made there to sell. After several years of business, demand for the equipment Yvon Chouinard made gradually increased, so in 1965 he decided to work with aeronautical engineer Tom Frost. In 1966, he moved his base to Ventura. He became concerned about environmental protection as the equipment he manufactured and sold was destroying rocks. In 1972, he released chocks that could be used by hand without a hammer, which became a huge hit. In 1973, he renamed his clothing division "Patagonia." Patagonia is a place name in South America, but it was named after the image of a faraway, remote place that is not on any map, and because it is a word that can be easily pronounced in any language. In 1985, Patagonia developed the double-sided brushed Synchilla material that does not pill. This is the fleece we know today. Originally, there were only a few color variations, and most were dark tones.
Although originally an outdoor product, Patagonia used vibrant colors, introducing new colors such as cobalt, teal, French red, aloe, seafoam, and iced mocha. Synchilla and vibrant colors made Patagonia popular for its outdoor wear. Since 1996, all cotton materials have been organic. In 1997, the sister brand Watergirl was established. In 2005, Patagonia began a program to collect and recycle Patagonia underwear into new products. Since then, Patagonia has actively promoted the use of recycled materials, with an eye toward the environment.
