Founded in 1954 by Myron Breakstone and Mortimer Malden, RefrigiWear was born from a need to outfit workers in New York’s Meatpacking District with outerwear that offered warmth without sacrificing mobility. This utilitarian origin story defines the brand’s identity, which is built on durable, high-performance insulated garments. Its signature “Iron-Tuff” line, rated for temperatures as low as -50°F, became essential gear for industrial freezer workers and laborers on large-scale projects like the Trans-Alaska Pipeline.
