I have fond memories of Patagonia catalogs when I was a kid. Had a much older brother who could actually afford the stuff, and he'd give us the catalog. One bummer about the company: They used to make most of their products in the USA, where environmental regulations are enforced and could be monitored. The bulk of their manufacturing was outsourced in the last 2 decades. With their price points, it's not like they can't make a profit if they chose to make it here. They just don't. Pointing this out, because it's an area where companies that have strong brand loyalty and make consumers feel good about things have fallen off. They embrace consumer sentiments on political, racial, and environmental causes, but then pursue fundamental actions that, in practice, radically undermine their stated values.
