Are Patagonia vests stigmatized?
Would it be appropriate to wear one to networking events and coffee chats? Or is Patagonia stigmatized because it’s a meme? (Assume the dress code is casual)

I think the Patagonia vest is overdone imo. You can't go wrong with a suit, especially as a prospect

Get an Arc'teryx vest instead.
