Autumn is always synonymous with wind and rain, which is why the legendary Madrid-based company 20
The garments respect handmade manufacturing processes and use top-quality materials, the brand’s hallmarks. In addition, they are made entirely in Spain.
Windbreakers join Pedro Gómez’s extensive product catalogue, and these new models stand out for their elegant black or beige colours.
The Black Carrara Plum windbreaker stands out, with outer body made from Classic Black fabric and inner lining in Plum Bordeaux.
This model is made of different materials such as polyester or polyamide and has very special details such as the El Igloo rubberised logo on the front (the Pedro Gómez shop-museum in the heart of Madrid), several pockets with hook-and-eye fastenings and a hood with a visor.
The black colour also stands out in the Black Liberty windbreaker, which has an inner lining made of characteristic Liberty Fabrics with a floral-inspired print.
This iconic British fabric, which dates back to 1875 and has generated a whole artistic movement around it, is what Pedro Gómez has recovered from his vintage catalogue to make some of his garments, like these new windbreakers.
Secondly, the brand also presents the Fallen Rock Carrara Pedro Blue windbreaker in classic beige for its outer body and a striking inner lining made of deep blue Carrara fabric.
In addition, all windbreakers feature a technical membrane on the outer fabric that effectively repels rainwater.
Pedro Gómez embodies in all his articles the love for the mountains and top quality materials through the interesting history that its founder began in 1954 when he made the first sleeping bag, based on down filling and nylon lining, to protect himself from inclement weather during his mountain expeditions in the Swiss Alps.
From that moment on, Pedro Gómez began to receive the first orders for garments to combat the cold and founded his own firm in 1959, making a decisive contribution to the development of Spanish mountaineering.
The brand continued to advance over the following decades, achieving great recognition in the 80s and 90s by becoming a hallmark of Madrid society at that time and a reference brand for the Royal Household.
As of 2019, the firm passed into the hands of José LuIs Serrano and Virginia Negral, who reinterpreted the origins of Pedro Gómez without leaving aside its essence, maintaining the business model based on small production, with the production of customisable garments to order; thus maintaining its exclusivity.
Today, Pedro Gómez has its own shop located in the heart of Madrid under the name of El Igloo. A space that combines the new era of the brand with its tradition and history through the exhibition of its most legendary garments and other iconic elements, to form a real museum that pays tribute to an institution in the world of fashion.
