Administrative history
The Analog outerwear label was started in 1998 as an offshoot of Burton (founder Jake Burton Carpenter), a snowboarding company from Burlington, Vermont. Carpenter was persuaded by head designer Greg Dacyshyn to bring fashion to their outerwear with Analog, described by Dacyshyn as a 'style lab, where our more progressive riders and customers were willing to go'. Snowboarders Jeffy Anderson, Trevor Andrew, Jason Brown and Gigi Ruf were associated with the line. They expanded into streetwear, surf and skate gear in 2003 and launched ATF (Analog Technical Fashion - streetwear inspired snowboarding clothing) in 2010. In 2012 Burton re-focussed the brand on snowboarding.

Scope and content
Black nylon jacket with zip front closure and drawstring at neck and hem. It has two large zip opening pocket covers on each side of the centre front which open to reveal further pouch pockets. The pocket covers have magnets which help to keep them closed but also ensure they stay in place when they are tucked away. There are two vertical zipped and welted pockets at each hip. Under each arm down the side seams are zipped gussets which reveal grey air vents with holes. There are also short zipped vents under each arm in the sleeve seam. The jacket is lined in grey polyester mesh. The zips are all YKK and the main front zip has a leather pull tag with 'Analog' on it.
