2. I love it when they cry-cry-cry about "cancel culture"...

... this is something that REALLY chaps their asses!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

6. The hypocrites hate corporations making choices, almost as much as they hate gubmnt making them. .nt

[NCjack]

9. When convenience, Repukes forget that "corporations are people, my friend".

[NurseJackie]

35. Precisely.

They don't like double-edged swords.

[CrackityJones75]

34. The funny thing is

The funny thing is they ised to call it “letting the market decide”.

[Wounded Bear]

3. K & R...nt

[bluedevil4]

4. Did the

resort find another place to purchase their products? Sounds like a good opportunity for a struggling competitor of Patagonia . Just saying

[Bernardo de La Paz]

7. "just" saying? Why bother saying that?

[llashram]

27. why bother

saying what you did?

[pamela]

28. I think he's just here for the pizza.

Just sayin'.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

[MontanaMama]

8. People who live in or visit Jackson Hole

don’t want to buy products from a struggling competitor. Wearing Patagonia is a status symbol. Wearing “almost Patagonia” is not.

[sarchasm]

14. Wearing Patagonia will become a litmus everywhere ...

… especially in Jackson.

Every time I fly in there I think, who the hell were the assholes that thought it would be a good idea to put an airport right at the base of the Tetons? Then I remember Dick Cheney lives there.

My friend gave me a bumper sticker …

“Jackson Hole, where Bush keeps his Dick”

[llashram]

29. status

vs coddling traitors...hmmm

[Hortensis]

50. There are plenty of shops there. Another will be glad to sell that line.

[LanternWaste]

10. You could find out and let us know.

Sounds like a good opportunity to engage in research. Just saying, Part II

[bluedevil4]

11. It does

I’m just not that interested in doing it.

[LanternWaste]

40. Interested enough to ask the question but not find an answer?

Seems.... rational.

[bluedevil4]

41. correct nt

[USALiberal]

13. Research it!

[hlthe2b]

15. Patagonia, for your information is a highly respected/sought out company for active & technical wear

It is well respected for standing up against the kind of environmentally devastating laws and policies of the RW who would likewise be rooting for this to hurt Patagonia, rather than the RW-supporting resort.

Your concerns noted.

[paleotn]

18. Struggling competitor with no soul?

I'd pass on their products. As a general rule, I don't do business with fascists or their enablers. Just saying.

[GemDigger]

23. So let me get this right

Patagonia left because it supports citizens,

You want others to come in to support Republicans? Not just any R but the most evil of the evil.

Just sayin

[MontanaMama]

47. This.

Thanks for putting a tidy bow on that GD.

[Fritz Walter]

24. Or an opportunity for M!ke L!ndell

He could come up with a whole new product line. Maybe he'd call it "My PadaGonorrhea"!

[obamanut2012]

33. I think Blaze is the best chain

Pizza place. What's yours?

[Skittles]

45. fuck anyone who supports TRAITORS

....these are people who question the patriotism of kneeling football players but think invading the Capitol and beating cops with flagpoles is A-OK.....FUCK THEM ALL

[rpannier]

5. Now... if the skiers don't show

Then this resort will really feel the pinch
I applaud Patagonia

[FakeNoose]

12. This!

Former resort customers should stay away and let them know the reason why. BTW Patagonia is a top-quality brand of outdoor/sports clothing and equipment.

[tinrobot]

19. That resort literally doesn't want more people

They just started a reservation system to keep pass holders away.

https://snowbrains.com/ikon-pass-reservations-jackson-hole/

Personally, I'm very happy to oblige. No need to give that place my money. I'll be skiing elsewhere.

[sarchasm]

16. Support Patagonia Action Works!

https://www.patagonia.com/actionworks/#!/issues/?referer=l1

[bahboo]

17. good for them...hometown company...

they do indeed walk the walk...

[GB_RN]

20. Good For Patagonia

[Moebym]

21. I have always admired Patagonia

A company that takes its stated mission of environmental and social responsibility very seriously is one I can get behind.

[homegirl]

22. Is Patagonia

still having their merchandise manufactured in China?

[Lasher]

25. 13% of it.

https://allamericanreviews.com/patagonia/

[Brother Buzz]

26. Yes, along with 16 other countries

You can't polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter; Patagonia is a mover and shaker in the Fair Labor Association (FLA)

FLA's Workplace Code of Conduct prohibits child labor, forced labor, violence, sexual and psychological harassment, and racial discrimination. It guarantees minimum legal or prevailing wage, whichever is higher, overtime wages (with limits on the number overtime hours allowed, a sticky issue), healthy and safe working conditions, and freedom of association to join a union (though independent unions are outlawed in China and Vietnam). Patagonia has its own Code of Conduct that prevents factories from subcontracting work without their permission.

[Celerity]

31. Full breakdown of countries of manufacture

Vietnam – 40.69%
Sri Lanka – 16.03%
China – 13.09%
Thailand – 7.21%
Mexico – 5.16%
Colombia – 3.29%
USA – 3.12%
The Philippines – 2.05%
El Salvador – 1.87%
Bangladesh – 1.60%
Canada – 1.60%
India – 1.51%
Hong Kong – 0.98%
Nicaragua – 0.80%
Not Specified – 0.62%
Taiwan – 0.09%
South Korea – 0.09%
Spain – 0.09%
Portugal – 0.09%

[RANDYWILDMAN]

32. Still think Patagonia makes too much stuff

but good on them for having backbone where other companies do not.

[Brother Buzz]

37. It was all so much easier when Chouinard was forging rock climbing pitons

and the only piece of clothing in his catalog was a rugged (UK) imported rugby shirt the climbers fell in love with

[RANDYWILDMAN]

48. Bought a storm jacket in 1990 sold it for more then twice the price in 2015

Great jacket lived it's life and then some. I am sure it went to Japan and was sold again for twice as much as they payed for it.

crazy good quality on there items back in the day.

[seta1950]

36. Great company

I always pay attention to the business I’m purchasing from, I would never shop at home depot or walmart

[Cha]

38. Rtx3 TY! If I needed winter clothes

I would buy Patagonia!

[Blue Owl]

39. Suck it, fuckos

And good on Patagonia, I hope they never lose their environmental mojo

[smirkymonkey]

42. This is part of the reason I am a loyal Patagonia customer.

Also, they have excellent products that stand the test of time and have excellent customer service. It may be a little pricier, but it is money well spent when you consider how long the products last and how well made they are.

[SergeStorms]

49. Same here.

I buy nothing else for the cold, snowy, blustery winter days on the shores of Lake Ontario.

Their products are well made, and they practice ethical principles in sourcing their materials, unlike other other manufacturers.

I wear my Patagonia jackets and vests proudly, knowing they have a social and ethical conscience regarding our planet and it's inhabitants.

[Kittycatkat]

43. I never bought Patagonia before. That changes now.

[Tommymac]

44. Lived and worked at 9000 ft. in the 1980's in Colorado, loved my Patagonia Fuzzy sweater.

It was so warm and comfy...wore the damn thing out.

[SunSeeker]

46. Bravo. I will order something from Patagonia now. nt
