Yeah, that definitely happens Archived Message

but I'd be shocked if Patagonia was one of the companies allowing it to happen. They guard the quality of their brand as closely as anyone. When you used to go to an "outlet" store, you were just getting overstock merchandise. Nowadays, companies are making cheaper good specifically for their outlet model. In the case of a company like Spyder, I'm not sure if they are making slightly cheaper product to sell at Costco, I'm guessing they do. Previous Message Will license their logo to a company like Costco to print on sweatshirts for sale and lower logistics and manufacturing costs. So you're getting a Patagonia logo but not necessarily a Patagonia level product? Previous Message a lot of companies will sell to Costco as a way to expand their market share. One of my favorite things to do is to troll the Costco clothing section for bargains. Previous Message But then I saw it at Costco and am having second thoughts
