Yeah, I don't agree with 100% of their political positions (though, to be fair, it is rare that I agree with 100% of anyone's political positions, including my own), but they are really trying to change the way people consume their products. And, many of their products are truly built to last. I have two jackets (one insulated, one a fleece) that are 15+ years old and have been dragged through the dirt, mud, rain, and snow all over the U.S.

This is my favorite political comment of the year!

I hope you won't mind my stealing it when one of my friends is shocked that we disagree on some political position or another.

Do you 100% agree with that statement? It can be seen as political.

Long time HN reader, never signed up, until today.

It's humbling and refreshing to see someone disagreeing and acknowledging that it doesn't mean that they're right and the other side is wrong, and that it's ok to like 99% of someone else's agenda (my interpretation) without starting an I'm better than you campaign.

More of us should follow that line of thought, love your comment man!

Finally something I can almost totally agree with!

Right now I'm wearing a pair of their twill jeans I've had for nearly 20 years now. There's a tiny bit of pilling in the knees you can only see close up. Otherwise they look brand new every time they come out of the wash.

A lot of their stuff isn't to my style, but I've had really solid luck with the stuff that is. I've got multiple pairs of long underwear and down vests and such from back when I snowboarded a lot, again, all of them held up really well.
