Description

Head Skis Vintage Patch:

The company was founded in Baltimore, Maryland in 1950 by Howard Head, after he took a ski trip and was astonished to see his skis were made of wood in an era when metals and plastics was replacing wood in many product designs. Head worked at the Glenn L. Martin Company where they used a form of aluminum and plastic laminate to build the fuselages of aircraft, and he felt the same material would make an ideal ski. After two years of constantly breaking skis, by the winter of 1950 they had a design that not only stayed together, but made turning dramatically easier.

Iron on or sew this fun patch to your jacket, cap, backpack or other items and listen to the compliments coming your way!
