Hi! My name is Witold (pronounced "vee-told") and I am the founder of BlackerFriday.com. After many years working in corporate america, I decided it was time to take a break to pursue my real passion — helping people save money. Ever since I was a little boy selling pencils in the playground to my kindergarden friends, later collecting aluminum cans from all my neighbors in elementary school to support my baseball card addiction, eventually becoming an eBay Power Seller in my older years to support my college education, I had an eye for spotting deals. I’ve taken what I have learned over the years and built Blacker Friday to bring you the best Black Friday rumors, predictions, and news website. Fortunately I'm not alone in this - We have a great team of dedicated folks helping make this site possible.

What’s Expected at Patagonia’s Black Friday 2024 Sale

What to Expect at Patagonia’s Black Friday 2024 Sale

Black Friday is again quickly coming up… but don’t hold your breath for a sale coming directly from Patagonia. A few year’s ago they stopped running Black Friday sales on their website to encourage folks to spend the long weekend outdoors and not in the mall or shopping online (similar to what REI does as well).

But that doesn’t mean that some of Patagonia’s resellers don’t have any offers this Thanksgiving weekend! Here’s a look at some of of stores worth checking:

We’re of course tracking hundreds of other Black Friday sales this Thanksgiving weekend. You can take a look at our complete list of merchants on our home page.

Why No Black Friday Sale?

Patagonia is urging users to buying less – less of their products and products in general! The high and devastating environmental impact that follows the mass production of clothes and accessories urges the Company to make high quality, long lasting and stylish products what will be with you for several years. Patagonia provides you with tips on how to care for your clothes to preserve them for much longer but also employs technicians who will repair your products if there is already a need for it. The Company also has a “reuse and recycle” program running. You can trade your used clothes or recycle them if there are beyond being usable. Check out their WORN Wear program for more details.

This may explain why their clothes are often expensive – you pay for a high quality and great post-buy service. Believe us, their products are worth their prices.

With that being said, it doesn’t mean that Patagonia never offers any discounts on their items. In fact, they typically have two big sales a year — Usually in mid-February and in August where you can find some good prices on their past-season clothing and gear (usually at up to 50% off). They also have a “web specials” section on their site. You just have to keep yours eyes open are these deals then to sell out quickly.
