I remember once back in the 80's I overspent some money on a Patagonia anorak-type shell for cold weather running.

I liked it, but the problem with it was me knowing that people would see that little rectangular "Patagonia" label and brand me as a poseur, which might have been an accurate assessment, at least at the time.

So I sliced that tag off of it and continued to use it for several years. I felt much better about it with the tag gone.

Hate to admit it, but I own several of their jackets— very warm and water-resistant. I have no complaints about the quality of their products, but I too have removed the labels because (1) the ‘80s poseur thing; and (2) don’t want to be a walking billboard for the brand considering their left-wing agenda.
