Collection: Pyrenex

Heritage & Philosophy

Founded in 1859 in Saint‑Sever, France, by Abel Crabos, Pyrenex began as a family workshop collecting local goose and duck down to insulate garments against harsh winters. Over six generations, the Crabos family has preserved a lineage of expertise: earning the prestigious “Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant” label for its mastery of French savoir‑faire, while maintaining deep ties to the Pyrenees region that inspired its name.

Signature Technology & Materials

At its core, Pyrenex specializes in the ennoblement of natural down through a proprietary sequence of washing, sorting and finishing. High‑quality French down is paired with durable outer shells, ranging from technical nylon to heritage canvas, and refined in Saint‑Sever to achieve a balance of warmth, lightness and breathability. The Authentic Jacket, born in the 1980s, remains a testament to this craftsmanship, featuring seamless construction, precision quilting and hydrophobic treatments.

Brand Vision & Evolution

While rooted in nearly 165 years of down‑making, Pyrenex has steadily evolved its ready‑to‑wear line with contemporary collaborations and eco‑focused innovations. Recent initiatives include bluesign®‑approved fabrics, recycled‑content shells and a renewed emphasis on small‑batch production: ensuring each jacket honors both heritage techniques and modern sustainability standards. By blending time‑tested processes with forward‑looking design, Pyrenex continues to define the pinnacle of luxury outerwear.
