So, these aren't really "worn" correct? At first, I assumed the inventory was thrift and my jaw dropped when I saw the prices. They should consider rebranding..

  They can be quite worn. The pricing is scaled relative to how comparatively worn an item is.

  They say that at least some of them are really worn, and there is a tag inside each garment explaining how to return it after you're done with it. How many are actually worn, I have no idea. I'm seeing more and more stores these days selling brand new things as refurbished just as a form of price differentiation. Unless you really believe that Kitchen Aid has hundreds of returned stand mixers in every single color.

    That doesn’t seem totally implausible to me, but even if it were, couldn’t they also just reuse the motor (etc) in a new housing?

  The company isn't known as Patagucci for nothing.

    for now, anyway, the clothes are worth the price. $150 for a hoodie layer (R1) i’ve repaired 5 times and had for a decade amortizes out to a pretty fair price. And they have an excellent culture. Employees get voting days off, they’re closed on black friday, they do loads of good sponsorship and support for outdoor sports, they’re happy to spend on conservation efforts... I’d rather give them my money than many other companies.

  These are pretty normal prices for used Patagonia. It’s one of those brands that don’t drop so fast in value.
