{"product_id":"smugglers-notch-vintage-embroidered-fabric-patch","title":"Smugglers’ Notch Patch (Retro Mountain) — c. 1970s","description":"\u003cp\u003eA vintage Smugglers' Notch ski patch from Jeffersonville, Vermont, estimated to date from the 1970s, featuring the three peaks collapsed into three overlapping triangles — green, blue, red — with SMUGGLERS' NOTCH in heavy black block caps beneath. Rectangular, white ground, white merrowed border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThree peaks: Madonna, Sterling and Morse. Madonna is the serious one, a long double chair up a face that does not get groomed into submission, and for decades it has been the thing that separates people who say they ski Smuggs from people who actually do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe patch gives you all three without ranking them, which is diplomatic and slightly misleading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSmugglers' has spent most of its life marketed at families, which is a decision that quietly cost it a certain kind of credibility and quietly earned it a few decades of reliable revenue. Madonna is still up there regardless, not caring what the brochure says.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEmbroidered on twill, merrowed edge.
