GHOSTS OF OUTERWEAR’S PRESENT: MOUNTAIN HARDWEAR CONJURES THE SEASON’S STURDIEST OUTERWEAR

From the haunting woods of Irving’s Sleepy Hollow to Poe’s foreboding Usher estate, stories have long since woven fall and phantasms as tight as the bindings on the books that capture them. And with fleeting sunlight, fog rolling across horizons, and winds whose howling evokes the eerie melody of wails from the dearly departed, it feels like a no-brainer. And yet, not all ghost stories are so obviously rooted in the season of spook. Some are hidden in plain sight, lingering in the shadows of unexpected places, such as those cast from our closets’ racks.
