(March 31, 2015)<\/p>\n<p>Extending the life of our garments is the single most important thing we can do to lower our impact on the planet. In keeping our clothes in use longer, we reduce overall consumption.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we\u2019re proud to launch a cross-country mission to change people\u2019s relationship with stuff. The Worn Wear Mobile Tour, kicking off April 2 in Ventura, Calif., and ending May 12 in Boston, is our attempt to encourage customers to make their clothes last a lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the tour, we\u2019re bringing repair staff from Patagonia\u2019s repair facility in Reno, Nev., on the road to offer free repairs on busted zippers, rips, tears, buttons, pulls and more \u2013 in addition to teaching people how to fix their own gear. Used Patagonia items will be for sale. The tour will be stopping at a myriad of locations such as retail locations, coffee shops, farmers markets and trailheads.<\/p>\n<p>Patagonia\u2019s Worn Wear program was created in 2013 as a way to encourage people to take good care of their gear, washing and repairing as needed. The program aims to keep clothing, regardless of brand, in circulation for as long as possible. When it\u2019s time for a replacement, we want you to invest in something that lasts.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why Patagonia makes the best quality, most functional products in the world, guarantees them for life and owns the biggest garment repair facility in North America. And it\u2019s why were going on tour \u2013 bringing Worn Wear\u2019s critical message to communities across the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is nothing we can change about how we make clothing that would have more positive environmental impact than simply making less,\u201d notes Patagonia CEO Rose Marcario. \u201cWorn Wear is a celebration of quality products and their relationship to our lives. It\u2019s a simple but critical message: keep your gear in action longer and take some pressure off our planet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Worn Wear Wagon is a one-of-a-kind custom vehicle, created by artist\/surfer Jay Nelson. The solar-powered camper shell is made from redwood salvaged from giant wine barrels and mounted on a \u201991 Dodge Cummins fueled by biodiesel. The mobile repair shop, complete with an Industrial Juki sewing machine, will be open to anyone who brings in a garment, regardless of brand. The tour will aim to educate visitors about the philosophy behind Patagonia\u2019s Worn Wear program, in addition to offering up some fun with food, drinks and live music.<\/p>\n<p>In November 2014, Patagonia announced a Black Friday investment in Yerdle, an innovative company providing a simple way for people to put goods back into circulation and avoid buying new \u2013 capturing the value of what they already own to save money and the planet. The investment, made through our internal venture fund, coincided with Worn Wear Swap Events in stores around the country, allowing customers to bring in their used Patagonia clothing and swap it with something off the rack.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day, we can tinker with our supply chain, improve sourcing, use all-recycled fabrics and give away millions of dollars to environmental organizations until the cows come in, but nothing is more important and impactful than keeping our clothing in use for as long as possible. In fact, by keeping our clothing in use just nine extra months, we can reduce related carbon, waste and water footprints by 20-30 percent each, according to the UK-based group WRAP \u2013 simply because we\u2019re making and throwing away less. <\/p>\n<p>We look forward to seeing you at Worn Wear Mobile Tour stops around the country!<\/p>\n<p><strong>WORN WEAR SPRING 2015 TOUR<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nThis spring our biodiesel repair truck will travel from California to New York doing free clothing repairs, teaching you how to fix your own gear and selling used Patagonia clothing. Bring us your tired, well-loved clothing for repair. If you don\u2019t have any, we\u2019ll supply it. Fix it and you can keep it. Join us for local food and drinks and celebrate the stories we wear.<\/p>\n<p>SAN FRANCISCO, CA \/\/ SATURDAY 4\/4\/15<br \/>\nMollusk Surf Shop<br \/>\n4500 Irving ST 94122<br \/>\nRepairs \/\/ Buy Used \/\/ DIY Fix: 4 &#8211; 7 PM Special Screening: The Fisherman\u2019s Son Showtime: 8 PM<\/p>\n<p>SAN FRANCISCO, CA \/\/ TUESDAY 4\/7\/15<br \/>\nFour Barrel Coffee<br \/>\n375 Valencia ST 94103<br \/>\nRepairs \/\/ Buy Used \/\/ DIY Fix: 8 &#8211; 2 PM<\/p>\n<p>SAN FRANCISCO, CA \/\/ TUESDAY 4\/7\/15 \u2028 Yerdle Special After Party: 5:30 &#8211; 10 PM<br \/>\n501 York ST 94110<br \/>\nRepairs \/\/ Buy Used \/\/ DIY Fix: 5:30 &#8211; 6:30 PM<\/p>\n<p>BEND, OR \/\/ FRIDAY 4\/10\/15<br \/>\nSmith Rock Trailhead<br \/>\nSmith Rock State Park, Terrebonne 97760<br \/>\nRepairs \/\/ Buy Used \/\/ DIY Fix: 9 AM &#8211; 5 PM<\/p>\n<p>BEND, OR \/\/ SATURDAY 4\/11\/15<br \/>\nSmith Rock Trailhead<br \/>\nSmith Rock State Park, Terrebonne 97760<br \/>\nRepairs \/\/ Buy Used \/\/ DIY Fix: 9 AM &#8211; 5 PM<\/p>\n<p>PORTLAND, OR \/\/ SUNDAY 4\/12\/15<br \/>\nPatagonia Portland<br \/>\n907 NW Irving ST 97209<br \/>\nRepairs \/\/ Buy Used \/\/ DIY Fix: 11 AM &#8211; 6 PM Happy Hour: 6:30 PM &#8211; 9 PM<\/p>\n<p>SEATTLE, WA \/\/ WEDNESDAY 4\/15\/15<br \/>\nFeathered Friends<br \/>\n119 Yale Avenue North 98109<br \/>\nRepairs \/\/ Buy Used \/\/ DIY Fix: 12 &#8211; 7 PM Special Screening: Worn Wear Film Showtime: 7:30 PM<\/p>\n<p>MOAB, UT \/\/ SATURDAY 4\/18\/15<br \/>\nTBD<br \/>\nRepairs \/\/ Buy Used \/\/ DIY Fix: 9 AM &#8211; 5 PM<\/p>\n<p>MOAB, UT \/\/ SUNDAY 4\/19\/15<br \/>\nLove Muffin Cafe\u0301<br \/>\n139 North Main ST 84532<br \/>\nRepairs \/\/ Buy Used \/\/ DIY Fix: 8 AM &#8211; 2 PM<\/p>\n<p>BOULDER, CO \/\/ WEDNESDAY 4\/22\/15<br \/>\nUniversity of Colorado Boulder<br \/>\nUniversity Memorial Center<br \/>\n1669 Euclid Ave 80309<br \/>\nRepairs \/\/ Buy Used \/\/ DIY Fix: 10 AM &#8211; 3 PM<\/p>\n<p>BOULDER, CO \/\/ WEDNESDAY 4\/22\/15\u2028 Movement Boulder<br \/>\n2845 Valmont Rd Boulder 80301<br \/>\nRepairs \/\/ Buy Used \/\/ DIY Fix: 5 PM &#8211; 8 PM<\/p>\n<p>FORT COLLINS, CO \/\/ THURSDAY 4\/23\/15<br \/>\nNew Belgium Brewery<br \/>\n500 Linden ST 80524<br \/>\nRepairs \/\/ Buy Used \/\/ DIY Fix: 12 &#8211; 5 PM<br \/>\nHappy Hour: 5 &#8211; 7 PM<br \/>\nSpecial Screenings: Fisherman\u2019s Son + Worn Wear Film Showtimes: 3, 5 and 7 PM<\/p>\n<p>CHICAGO, IL \/\/ SUNDAY 4\/26\/15<br \/>\nPatagonia Lincoln Park<br \/>\n1800 North Clybourn 60614<br \/>\nRepairs \/\/ Buy Used \/\/ DIY Fix: 11 AM &#8211; 6 PM<\/p>\n<p>NASHVILLE, TN \/\/ WEDNESDAY 4\/29\/15<br \/>\nImogene + Willie<br \/>\n2601 12th Ave South 37204<br \/>\nRepairs \/\/ Buy Used \/\/ DIY Fix: 10 AM &#8211; 5 PM<\/p>\n<p>NASHVILLE, TN \/\/ WEDNESDAY 4\/29\/15\u2028 Climb Nashville<br \/>\n3600 Charlotte Ave 37209<br \/>\nPint Night Happy Hour: 7 PM &#8211; 10 PM\u2028<br \/>\nASHEVILLE, NC \/\/ FRIDAY 5\/1\/15<br \/>\nRiverLink Music Festival<br \/>\n144 Riverside Dr 28801<br \/>\nRepairs \/\/ Buy Used \/\/ DIY Fix: 5 PM &#8211; 10 PM<\/p>\n<p>RALEIGH, NC \/\/ SUNDAY 5\/3\/15 UNC-Chapel-Hill<br \/>\nCorner of South Road and Raleigh ST 27899 Repairs \/\/ Buy Used \/\/ DIY Fix: 11 AM &#8211; 5 PM<\/p>\n<p>RALEIGH, NC \/\/ TUESDAY 5\/5\/15<br \/>\nGreat Outdoor Provision Co.<br \/>\n2017 Cameron ST 27605<br \/>\nRepairs \/\/ Buy Used \/\/ DIY Fix: 11 AM &#8211; 5 PM Happy Hour: 5 &#8211; 7 PM<\/p>\n<p>FAYETTEVILLE, WV \/\/ THURSDAY 5\/7\/15 Water Stone Outdoors<br \/>\n101 Wiseman Ave 25840<br \/>\nRepairs \/\/ Buy Used \/\/ DIY Fix: 10 AM &#8211; 5 PM<\/p>\n<p>BROOKLYN, NY \/\/ SATURDAY 5\/9\/15<br \/>\nPilgrim Surf<br \/>\n68 North 3rd ST Brooklyn 11249<br \/>\nRepairs \/\/ Buy Used \/\/ DIY Fix: 11AM &#8211; 5 PM Special Screening: The Fisherman\u2019s Son Showtime: 8 PM<\/p>\n<p>NYC, NY \/\/ SUNDAY 5\/10\/15<br \/>\nPatagonia SoHo Store<br \/>\n72 Greene ST 10012<br \/>\nRepairs \/\/ Buy Used \/\/ DIY Fix: 11 AM &#8211; 5 PM<\/p>\n<p>BOSTON, MA \/\/ TUESDAY 5\/12\/15<br \/>\nPatagonia Boston<br \/>\n346 Newbury ST 02115<br \/>\nRepairs \/\/ Buy Used \/\/ DIY Fix: 11 AM &#8211; 5 PM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s some decidedly not April Fools news.
