Our history
Beginning in the mid-70's, Patagonia consulted for the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center - developing the Instructor's Manual for military mountaineering to enable the military man to be able to cope with high alpine environments. During the 80's and 90's, as Patagonia's clothing business grew, the Marine Corps and Special Operations Forces purchased baselayers and fleece for their cold weather teams.
In the post 9/11 era, our mission deepened, when USSOCOM approached Patagonia to help solve critical uniform deficiencies. By 2016, operating as Patagonia’s Lost Arrow Project, we had successfully built a U.S.-based supply chain capable of producing technical, high-performance gear once exclusive to offshore manufacturing.
In 2022, a former Patagonia employee acquired the business, establishing it as Forgeline Solutions—a fully independent company dedicated to advancing elite military fieldwear.
