I scored a Patagoinia vest in a thrift store 15 or so years ago. I have loved it ever since. It finally came time to replace it. I hemmed and hawed about buying new, but as I loved the old one so much and it lasted so long, I figured it was worth it.
The new one looks about the same in the pictures but has a very different fit and feel. It feels baggy and shapeless, whereas the other one fitted beautifully. The material is different and seemed less breathable (though recycling fleece is laudable); the pockets, whilst still capacious, bulge out more and are harder to unzip. I'm really disappointed.
