Introducing PF Flyers x Sterlingwear
PF Flyers' Newest Made in USA Collab--Inspired by Military Heritage and Born in Boston
BOSTON, Nov. 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Military heritage, an appreciation for quality, a commitment to domestic manufacturing and shared hometown roots are the inspiration behind PF Flyers' latest Made in USA collaboration with Boston based outerwear company Sterlingwear. For over 50 years, Sterlingwear has been the exclusive producer of the United States Navy specification wool peacoat.
The PF Flyers x Sterlingwear Made in USA Center Hi utilizes the same domestically grown, heavy gauge, 22 oz. melton wool and premium satin lining found in Sterlingwear's standard issue Navy peacoat. This wool is normally exclusive to the U.S. Navy and not available for public consumption. The result is a truly unique execution that merges quality, style and comfort.
The PF Flyers x Sterlingwear collab is available exclusively on pfflyers.com and at The Gear Patrol x Westerlind Pop-Up. This shoe will be produced in a limited run and only available for a short time.

In 1933 he patented the Posture Foundation insole, changing the sneaker landscape and immediately growing in popularity. In the 1950's and 60s, PF Flyers became one of the most popular shoe brands in America, dominating the athletic sphere and integrating into the military. Now owned by New Balance, PF Flyers continues to grow off of their past success and reclassify old designs with a modern twist. Touted as some of the best shoes for a secure ankle, PF Flyers incorporates contemporary design elements, colors and comfort technologies into a traditional style to revitalize an American classic.
