depends on what you need...

Ah, I've successfully offended the sensibilities of some poser gear owners.    Am I the only guy on TAY to have noticed that around 10 years ago Arc'teryx replaced Patagucci as the #1 poser outdoor garment?

Last time I was in Vancouver, almost all of (the hundreds of) Arc'teryx wearers were middle aged upper middle class Asian shopper women.  There's thousands of counterfeit Arc-Teryx jackets out there.  I'm not kidding.

I'm not sure which label will replace Arc'teryx as the #1 poser garment.  Maybe Westcomb or Stoic.

AFAIK, Arc'teryx makes high quality stuff.  So does Patagucci.  That a logo achieves poser status doesn't mean it's poor quality.

Anyway, I usually rip off or black out my labels.  See No Logo by Naomi Klein

That book crystallizes and articulates many of the gut-level reactions I've had to "logoism" and other manifestations of corporatism. There is a guy that was part of the "Swoosh" marketing at Nike that is now speaking out about the exploitation of college athletes. Very interesting...
