> My point is that it’s more ethical to not make clothes than it is to be the most ethical clothes company
What do you mean? Clothes don't last forever. Doesn't someone have to make new ones...?
I can't tell if you're advocating for global nudism, or if you believe we can just reuse the existing clothes supply forever? Granted, probably they'll last a few decades at least.
It sounds pretty extreme. I do wish there was a way to make nonplastic outdoor wear though. What did people do in the old days? It's not like hiking in the rain/snow was invented recently...
There’s no danger of a clothes shortage if Patagonia doesn’t exist.
Believing otherwise is like somebody thinking they should have kids to ensure there’s no population collapse. Plenty of people are having plenty of kids! They can sit out and it’ll be fine.

You’re taking a romantic view of something decidedly unromantic. It wasn’t fun! Sure wool has some great properties but wear a Barbour waxed canvas jacket as rain gear on a multi day hike before pining for the days of yore.
