SALOMON FW2001: “BONDED WOOL” SLOPE-TO-STREET - Designed by @Collierbrands

Some pieces don’t just look rare, they feel like a missing chapter in a brand’s design history. This Salomon pullover comes from FW2001, part of a “Bonded Wool” story confirmed directly by the designer.

The brief was simple but ahead of its time: take the vibe of vintage loden wool (heritage alpine uniform energy) and rebuild it with the wearability of technical sportswear. Warm, structured, clean, but engineered to move. In the designer’s words, even though the collection was small, it had a “critical mix of slope-to-street” and this was one of those key pieces. There was even a matching pant, and he said he basically lived in the wool pant version.

And you can see that design intent in the details.

The body is built from bonded wool with a dense, smooth finish that holds its shape and reads almost minimal in silhouette, but the construction is pure performance thinking: ergonomic panel lines, purposeful shaping, and a neckline that sits between sport and luxury, not quite crewneck, not zip, just that unmistakable early-00s technical geometry.

Then the hardware language comes in: strap-tab cuff details that look like equipment, tonal branding that only appears when the light hits it, plus the subtle contrast yoke that gives the piece that alpine utility look without shouting.

This is the era before techwear had a name. Before the Salomon hype cycle. When outdoor brands were quietly experimenting with material stories and cross-environment clothing that could live in real life, not just on a mountain.
