Patagonia (brand) puts all its money where it's mouth is.

We have always bought a good few Patagonia pieces based on quality, repair service & ethics.
Therefore this comes as no surprise.

Having bought some of their long lasting T-shirts in May 2020 I was gutted to find they are now a poly-cotton mix, still tough but not the same, that's My dilemma, I seek out ultra heavyweight 100% cotton, any brand I've bought that are organic cotton have been thin as hell, nothing like What we used to be able to buy in the 80's & 90's ..some of which I still get good wear from today.
The repair service for Patagonia is more prominent abroad, but it exists, as with the likes of Lowe Alpine, so we have to check on websites & see if there is a local event taking place & consider stuffing something in a suitcase.
