Field notes
The page builds its parody through the full structure of an outfitter site: a product collection, material specifications, an origin story, testimonials, journal sections, and a guarantee. Fabric descriptions mix plausible weights and construction details with relationship jokes, including paraffin-waxed cotton that “absorbs blame.” The homepage calls itself a work of satire; its claims about Portland production and verified-pair reviews therefore belong to the site's presentation, not independently established facts.
