Pendleton and Disneyland

I'm sure that anyone who follows fashion noticed American heritage brand Pendleton receiving a good amount of love over the past few years.  Founded in 1863, the brand is known for their woolen goods, especially garments and blanket.  Whilst in the past it may have seemed that their target customer is more likely to be your mom than you, of late they have collaborated with everyone from Doc Martins to Urban Outfitters.

Which is why MY MIND WAS BLOWN when I came across this picture:

It turns out that Pendleton was one of three companies that leased a store front when the park opened (Kodak and Wurlitzer were the other two). The store operated from the time the park opened until 1990… that's 35 years friends.  Not a bad shelf life.  Bonanza Outfitters is there now.

I've never been to Disneyland, but I'm going this September and can't wait to check out the old building.  Apparently, it is still that same teal color.  Who knows?  Maybe the cast members hanging around will have some information about the old exhibit.

From the exhibit Brochure.

How cool is this label?!
