70s FROSTLINE KIT PUFFER VEST
BRAND Frostline Kit.

- Made in USA.
Frostline Kit was a Colorado-based company that produced sew-it-yourself kits for outdoor gear including clothing and tents. It was founded in 1966 as a mail-order company and by 1978 it grew to eighteen retail stores.
While it operated, it provided a cost-effective alternative to manufactured gear.
Frostline began with kits for parkas and sleeping bags. The range of products eventually extended to backpacks and other textile gear. These kits offered do-it-yourselfers a chance to save 50% from the cost of manufactured goods.
FABRIC The fabric label is missing, but usually the Frost Line Kit from this period are 100% nylon with down filler.
