It’s an interesting idea but as someone who owns dozens of their products, I’d love to see them take this a step further: I want to be able to order (for only the cost of shipping) repair parts and fabric for my repairs. For example, my Patagonia roll-aboard luggage is a decade old now and the veteran of hundreds of flights and trips around the world. The burly ripstop nylon is wearing through in spots and you can reach your fingers into the bag through the holes. I can’t repair it because of the material thickness–you need a commercial sewing machine. I could take it to one of the local military gear repair places but they don’t have matching fabric. What if Patagonia could sell me the long-since-discontinued fabric and replacement parts that I need to do the repairs correctly?
