Patagonia Pile Fleece Jacket

Patagonia is an iconic American outdoor apparel brand known for its commitment to environmental sustainability and corporate responsibility. Founded by Yvon Chouinard, the brand has grown from a small company making climbing tools into a global leader in outdoor gear.

Manufacturing for Patagonia takes place in various countries around the world, primarily in Asia, including Vietnam, Thailand, and Sri Lanka, where they work with factories that meet strict social and environmental standards. The company is famous for its unique ownership structure; in 2022, the Chouinard family transferred all ownership to the Patagonia Purpose Trust and the Holdfast Collective to ensure all profits are used to fight climate change and protect nature.
