Founded by Yvon Chouinard in 1973, Patagonia is an outdoor apparel company based in Ventura, California. A certified B-Corporation, Patagonia’s mission is to save our home planet.
The company is recognized internationally for its commitment to authentic product quality and environmental activism, donating 1% of sales annually, contributing over $100 million in grants and in-kind donations since 1985.
We’re always looking for motivated people to join us in our retail stores; at our Ventura, California headquarters; Reno, Nevada Service Center; and occasionally in our overseas offices. We’re especially interested if you love spending as much time as possible in the mountains or the wild, feel more at home in a base camp or on the river than an office, and have a passion for something outside of yourself, whether for surfing or opera, climbing or gardening, skiing or community activism.

For five years, Bert and John Jacobs drove up and down the East Coast, selling their t-shirt designs on the streets and in college dorms. They slept in their van, lived on PB&J, and showered when they could. The adventure was great, but sales were, uh, lacking.
In 1994, with just $78 to their names, Bert and John designed their first “Life is Good” t-shirt to counter the negative news – and discovered how those three simple words could inspire people to focus on the good.
It should have come as no surprise that the power of that one idea was just too strong to get wrong. After all, Bert and John’s mom, Joan Jacobs, had raised them to believe in the power of positivity.
As a parent of six kids, raising the family on their dad’s slim salary, Joan still managed to make little moments magical. She didn't just tell bedtime stories. She unlocked her kids’ imaginations. In her tales, she became a wolf on a bicycle, or a princess in a flying submarine, or a dragon who breathes love instead of fire. In fact, our logo was inspired by Joan’s creative bedtime stories. It’s a symbol of her fierce love and a tribute to her playful imagination.
We like to think of Joan Jacobs as the original “Playmaker,” a term we coined that describes those who help kids heal and thrive through the power of play. In Joan’s honor, more than 10% of Life is Good’s annual net profits are donated to the Life is Good Playmaker Project to help raise the next generation of optimists.
