They make good quality products. I’ve owned two of their jackets and some swim trunks and they were all good. I wouldn’t say that they’re fashionable in my eyes, they’re just a band aid for someone to look good without trying while also having a pretty typical design for a jacket so I have jackets I’d rather wear than a Patagonia because my other jackets contribute to an outfit better.
I only wore this when I was backpacking because when I was hitchhiking people would look at my clothes and think "rich white college kid is out backpacking and trying to get to town. Super harmless." Vs "weirdo hiker in the woods trying to murder me"
i hear it works something like this. there’s a company called black rock which downlow owns heck loads of things. it’s like a cyberpunk megacorp.
company’s WANT black rock to invest in them. but black rock demands they say swpl shit or they’ll work against them rather than give them money.
so you can’t even "vote with your wallet" anymore.
eg. the people buying kanye’s crap give zero hecks about hebrews but a company would rather drop him and risk bankruptcy than cross the greater powers.
Nah
cool thanks anon just bought a jaacket
It’s literally plastic garbage
Yeah, it’s pretty cringe.

They’re a leftist propaganda outlet
what are some non-virtue signalling brands?
Just don’t wear anything made from garbage as a start.
They only do that shit for marketing. In reality Patagonia has been making uniforms and clothes for the military for decades lmao
Yep, but they actively keep that on the downlow.
its a clothing brand, anon
Started out based, but got more cringe as time progressed. It’s peak cringe now that it’s getting sold out.
My white synchilla “fleece” pullover gets the cuties mirin so thats all i care about

Debatable but they’re actually pretty normcore and I like a lot of their stuff.

people are cringe, not the clothes.
If you got the correct attitude, you’re alright.
