But their products are a bit pricey for me.

And if anyone is so inclined, click on the Stories on their site.
Thanks for posting this.

(18,402 posts)5. Snopes says it's real (with a proviso)
This is a genuine picture of a Patagonia clothing tag. However, the tag is not found on every Patagonia clothing item.
A spokesperson for Patagonia confirmed to us in an email that the tags are real, and that they can be found on the companys Regenerative Organic Stand-Up Shorts:
The tags are real. They were added to our 2020 Mens and Womens Regenerative Organic Stand-Up Shorts because we have been standing up to climate deniers for almost as long as weve been making those shorts.
[Patagonia Founder] Yvon Chouinard has been saying vote the assholes out for several years and it refers to politicians from any party who deny or disregard the climate crisis and ignore science, not because they arent aware of it, but because their pockets are lined with money from oil and gas interests.
Fumi Yokoyama, a reporter for GQ Japan, also confirmed that this clothing tag could be found on Patagonias Road to Regenerative Standup Shorts.
