Patagonia Puts ‘Vote the A**holes Out’ on Clothing Tags

The Patagonia clothing company has added the words “Vote the A**holes Out” to the back of the tags on its newest line of shorts.

Customers have been discovering messages on the back of Patagonia tags, which read in sans-serif stitching, “Vote the A**holes Out,” according to a report by GQ.

Moreover, the clothing brand has confirmed it, as Patagonia’s Director of Copy Brad Wieners responded to a Twitter user last week, stating that the tags are, in fact, real.

“Patagonia tags have a new message,” wrote one Twitter user, sharing a zoomed-in photo of the back of a tag, which clearly states, “Vote The A**holes Out.”
