Pendleton has been weaving its signature wool blanket patterns since 1863, and this month the heritage brand is putting that same iconic print somewhere it has never lived before: on a Crocs clog. The collaboration pairs one of the oldest names in American textiles with one of the most recognizable shoes of the last two decades, and the resulting two-style collection is set to launch on September 22.

Pendleton’s blanket patterns are about as close to a national heirloom as textile design gets. Generations of households have kept the brand’s wool blankets folded on the back of a couch or draped over a camp chair, and the graphic, geometric prints have become shorthand for a certain kind of rugged American style, equal parts ranch house and national park lodge. Handing that pattern over to Crocs, a brand built on rubber clogs rather than woven wool, is the kind of pairing that sounds unlikely until you actually picture the pattern printed across a familiar clog silhouette.

Collaborations between heritage brands and Crocs have become something of a pattern in their own right over the last several years, with the shoe serving as an easy, low-stakes canvas for other companies to put their most recognizable visual signatures on something wearable and instantly shareable. Pendleton’s version leans into exactly that idea, translating a textile pattern with more than a century and a half of history into a shoe shape that most people already own at least one pair of. It is a pairing that works precisely because the two brands could not come from more different corners of American manufacturing, one built on slow, woven wool and the other built on injection-molded foam.

Two distinct styles make up the collection, giving fans of the collaboration a choice in how loudly they want to wear the print, whether that means a clog with a subtler nod to the pattern or one that puts the blanket print front and center. The release was first detailed by SoleRetriever, with the collection confirmed to become available on September 22, 2026.

For longtime Pendleton fans, the collaboration is another example of the brand finding new ways to keep its 1863 pattern relevant to a generation that may know the print better from a friend’s closet than from an actual family cabin. For Crocs fans, it is one more reason to add to a collection of clogs that increasingly says as much about pop culture and nostalgia as it does about comfortable footwear. Either way, when the collection drops later this month, it will mark one of the more unexpected meetings of American textile history and shoe culture yet, and one more sign that heritage brands are increasingly comfortable letting their oldest designs show up in the least traditional places.
