Fairware x Patagonia: Apparel and Bags

Workwear Clothes that work as hard as you do.

For almost 50 years, Patagonia has made clothes that stand up to demanding use. So while our Workwear line has some new entries, what hasn’t changed is our approach: build products that are truly functional, build them with skill and care so they last and last, and back them up with our Ironclad Guarantee. Even though many of our garments are intended for big walls or big mountains, we’d long heard from customers who found that our clothes work just as well on everyday job sites. And the more time we spent talking to farmers, framers and farriers, the more we realized there was an opportunity to go beyond simply re- casting our existing gear for the trades. Using recycled materials to reduce waste and natural fabrics that improve topsoil, we’ve created clothes that are stronger and more comfortable to wear to work than anything else out there. We didn’t get there overnight. Extensive testing is always key to our process, and there was no shortage of constructive feedback along the way. But we listened, which is why our Workwear is broken-in right off the shelf and cut with a room- ier fit for comfort and range of motion. Multiple fabric weights offer warmth for cooler weather and greater breathability for afternoons in the hot sun. Innova- tive blends provide excellent abrasion resistance, making our pants and jackets extremely durable.

Behind it all is a belief we share with the people who make trusted stuff the world over: To do good, you actually have to do something.
