    I remember learning about LL Bean from Seinfeld and asking why people like it. Later when I wasn’t living paycheck to paycheck and started buying quality goods, I learned that their famous warranty was gone. Which sucks because I’m all about BIFL.

      This is why I switched to Patagonia, quality stuff, great customer service, great warranty.

          Yeah from what I’ve heard it’s owned by someone who genuinely wants to make the world less awful. Whether or not that’s true idk, but I’ll always prioritize a company that acknowledges and claims to attempt to minimize environmental impact over one owned by bigots

            It was owned by someone like that, he gave the company away and it’s now owned by a bunch of non-profits oriented around environmentalism.
