Didnt see a thread on this, what do you guys think of Patagonia's decision to stop co-branding with financial firms?

How will people know I work in IB if I dont have my vest on?

Real question, what do you guy think? One of the most extra things I've ever seen. Probably wont hurt their bottom line, but really does nothing to grow their platform as a b-corp or whatever. Most of America dont care / know what finance bros wears. Plus this a problem anyone with a sewing machine can fix.

My first question is how Patagonia operates outside the banking system. Apparently they never in their history borrowed money, and neither have nor ever have had any treasury, cash management, commercial/investment banking or related needs. Interesting.
