Patagonia Puns

Past Threads | Old "Brand Love/Hate" Threads | (Locked) Voting Thread

These threads are for open-ended discussion and reviews of specific brands the communitynhas expressed an interest in - we will be running one every two weeks from today, picked from the list of brands you've requested.

Each comment can be a mini-review: talk about your favourite pieces, your less favoured pieces, your opinions on the general aesthetic, quality details, favourite runway shows, whatever you can add. In general post about your experiences with and impressions of the brand.

The thread, as a whole, will ideally coalesce into a mega-review: the reddit hive mind at its best, giving a picture of a brand no one opinion alone could capture.

If you have something to add, no matter how small, add it. And for that matter, questions are fair game too. Maybe somebody will look back on this thread with the same question, and appreciate the answers you get!

I love buying secondhand but it’s time consuming to visit thrift stores and dig for quality pieces. I’ve not had the best luck on ThredUp either. I’ve loved almost every piece I’ve gotten from Eileen Fisher Renew. I’ve found the consistency is much better with brands that handle selling their own clothes secondhand.

What other brands do this?

Tbh I would love it at the white coat ceremony.

Hey guys I have been seeing more and more doctors wear them, but I am having trouble justifying paying ~130$ for a fleece jacket.

Oof not a good sign for the rest of the month 🥲

I inherited a Patagonia fleece vest (Stonewash style no. 25882) and a small fortune of $10,000,000. I was going to sell it and put the money in Van guard funds but then I put the vest on and became a portfolio manager for Van guard.

Thought I would warn you all of the coming of the Rapture
