  They don't allow embroidered company logos unless you're a B-corp or a non-profit, IIRC. If you see someone wearing tech swag with logos on Patagonia, it's either old gear or someone in their company is a major asshole.

    So buying a shirt and having it embroidered elsewhere is assholery? Why should Patagonia have control of merchandise after they sell it? Makes me want to have some Patagonia stuff altered on principle...

      Allegedly it was to keep people from trashing the garments when they left the company. I have a few nice jackets I really don't wear because I don't represent that organization, and they are way less valuable at thrift. The rules are if you want to get bulk discounts from Patagonia, you're right that you can just buy the clothes and do whatever to them, you just pay retail. The assholery aspect is more personal to me I think. I like that even though they're not exactly a grassroots cottage gear maker anymore, that Patagucci actually enable and encourage secondhand use via their worn gear and repair programs and messaging. I try to give space to people and orgs who are trying to do things thoughtfully, so if someone goes out of their way knowingly to disrespect that thoughtfulness, yeah I find that distasteful.

Finance bros moving on to Patagonia is probably the reason they’re filing for bankruptcy

  Patagonia stopped doing custom logos on those pieces a few years back: https://www.businessinsider.com/patagonia-no-longer-adding-corporate-logos-to-its-clothing-2021-4?op=1 https://www.businessinsider.com/patagonia-no-longer-adding-c... I'm not sure if that put a dent in the finance bros' style. Finance bros can of course still buy a bunch of the vests and have a third party do the custom logo for them.
