History

Founded in 1920 by Eddie Bauer in Seattle, the company began as a sporting goods store. In 1936, Bauer patented the Skyliner, the first quilted down jacket in the United States, following a personal experience with hypothermia. During World War II, the firm produced B-9 flight suits for the U.S. Army Air Corps. These developments solidified the brand's role in the evolution of insulated outerwear and technical outdoor equipment.
