Eddie Bauer's quilted down jacket, the Skyliner, was awarded a U.S. patent in 1940 and changed the course of outerwear history. It was invented after Bauer became hypothermic on a steelhead fishing trip in the Pacific Northwest and nearly died. He created the down-insulated jacket so that it would never happen again.
In some archive pictures of the filming of the iconic Robert Redford movie "Six Days Of The Condor" (1975), the director Sydney Pollack is wearing the same Eddie Bauer Skyliner!
