Got Russia on the brain….I guess my main objection to Patagonia products is they are completely unironic. I was in boulder recently and every single human was wearing Patagonia. Made me hate Patagonia.
I love the idea of wearing clothing until it disintegrates, with full love for each garment whatever that garment is for anyone[/quote]
yeah I get it,… when everyone is doing the same thing,… it is ‘might’ be useful to get look at things from another POV (actually this is my approach to investing)
sigh,… WRT Patagonia clothing,… pretty much the only stuff I’ve purchased from them is mostly articles of hemp clothing,… basically buy it because it’s a known quantity
since this thread is about nylon clothing,… basically for the longest time wore pretty much only Levi 501 jeans BUT when I was really into backpacking/back country skiing especially in the sierras during winter,… wet cotton sucks!
so when backpacking/back country skiing really appreciate the ruggedness of nylon hiking gear BUT what I don’t like is wearing nylon durning summer (it just does not breath),… and when condition are arid and hot,… hated also getting shocked (due to static buildup when nylon rubs together)
anyway if you are into Russia, there is a book you might find interesting
as an undergrad at UCSD I doubled majored Physics and PoliSci AND basically took concentrated course work in Russian/Soviet politics,… and that is where I first heard of ‘Radishchev’
