Patagonia Black Jacket

Patagonia, founded in 1973 by Yvon Chouinard, is an American company renowned for its high-quality outdoor clothing and gear. The brand's black jackets are part of its extensive outerwear collection, designed for various outdoor activities. In September 2022, Chouinard transferred ownership of Patagonia to two entities: the Patagonia Purpose Trust, which holds all voting stock, and the Holdfast Collective, which holds all non-voting stock. This unique ownership structure ensures that all profits are directed toward environmental causes, with the Holdfast Collective receiving approximately $100 million annually to fund environmental initiatives. This move reflects Patagonia's long-standing commitment to environmental activism and sustainability.
