**VIRGINIA –** Outdoor gear company YETI has found itself embroiled in controversy after canceling a $1,608 order from the Clare Boothe Luce Center for Conservative Women, a non-profit focused on mentoring young women. The cancellation comes despite YETI fulfilling an identical order from the same organization last year.

The Clare Boothe Luce Center, named after the renowned playwright and politician, stated that the canceled order was for customized YETI Rambler mugs, identical to those ordered in May 2024. Center President Kimberly Begg told FOX Business that the mugs were given to speakers and mentors, and that the reorder was placed with no expectation of problems.

YETI’s reasoning, according to emails obtained by FOX Business, cites their terms and conditions, specifically regarding custom products with political affiliations. The company claims they strive to avoid political affiliations on their products, although they admitted to a previous oversight in fulfilling the 2024 order. They maintain the right to reject any order deemed inappropriate.

Begg expressed frustration with YETI’s decision, recounting difficulties in communication with the company to resolve the issue. The Center has taken to social media to express their disappointment, highlighting the identical nature of the two orders.

YETI, in a statement to FOX Business, apologized for the inconsistency in applying their policy but stood by their decision to avoid political affiliations on custom products. The company’s stock (YETI) is down 17.38% year-over-year, according to StockAnalysis.

This incident has ignited a debate on social media, with many criticizing YETI’s perceived inconsistency and selective application of its policies. The Clare Boothe Luce Center’s social media posts have drawn considerable attention to the story.
