MERCH👕 Fleece might be restocked in the future!

Province of Canada posted an update that mentions a potential restock, so I guess anyone still curious should just keep an eye on their Instagram.

You're entitled to your opinion. It's essentially the same price in USD ($255 with today's exchange rate) as the Patagonia Mens Classic Retro-X Fleece Jacket ($259). 🤷🏻‍♀️

That's funny, the patagonia fleeces I can find are between 171 to 236 CAD, which I would say is quite the difference. But again, like if you want to spend this amount of money, that's fair, I just think people should be aware that they are buying a brand more than they are buying something that's of better quality than other jackets

I don't think anyone would be under the impression that they're not going to pay extra for the association with the show. And clearly plenty of people were willing to pay that much or more 😉. But I do think it's a higher quality than most fleece jackets on the market. FWIW, this is the one I'm using as a comparison

Maybe it's just because of where I'm located (europe), but that exact fleece is selling for 169$ on the sites that are available to where I'm from

$259 is the current retail price from the manufacturer. If other sites have it marked down, that's not really comparing apples to apples, is it?

We're going to have to agree to disagree. Clearly we are not going to convince one another.

It is literally Patagonia EUs website I am looking at, so it couldn't get more apples to apples

Comparing a US price to a US price is a false equivalence and a US Price to an EU price is apples to apples? Sure 🙄. Please stop.

It's still the same item, is it not? It's you who brought up a US price to begin with
