I grew up in Northern Europe, most of “fancy“ winter clothes my parents got me when I was a kid had those. It’s been quite a while since I shopped for a fancy winter coat, so no idea if they are still doing that - maybe it was a 90s/00s thing.
That was my guess all along - let the customers see the cool stuff inside. Like if they use feathers, it would contain those, and you will believe 100% without a shade of a doubt that your new jacket is insulated with feathers.
Insulated leather gloves would have a blank or sometimes logo embossed tag made of the same leather so you can see the rough side of the leather as well. To ensure it’s real, not junk “genuine leather” hidden by the stitched in liner.
I agree that’s it’s probably a sample from a jacket or sleeping bag. I found this outdoors company called Mile High Mountaineering. It looks like now they just do backpacks, but maybe they’d tried jackets earlier, with a different font in their logo.

Oops, spoke too soon. Here’s a jacket with the exact same logo. Unclear if it’s the same company, but I doubt it. But this is probably the type of jacket it came off of link
I have seen similar items that were samples of the same fabric as the original item (shirt, pants, etc) so you can test it in the wash before laundering the larger item. Not sure that's what this is but thought I'd mention anyway.
When I bought a down filled winter coat, I got a similar item to show what the down consistency was like. That’s probably also a sample of down filling from a coat, blanket, sleeping bag, etc.
This might’ve been included with a jacket, comforter, or some other warm insulating item. It displays the type of insulation that fills the item in question.
Couldn't find anything with Google lens (Google thought it was a wet wipe LOL) but could it be from a coat or duvet? Sometimes when you buy an item stuffed with cotton/down they have a little sample pouch of the filler. Might explain why it's completely sealed? The loop on the top would be attached to the zipper or hem with a tag. As for the brand name I have no idea
I have seen those in several winter jackets or sleeping bags from different brands. It's a sample of the isolation fiber used to fill de jacket or sleeping bag

Looks like a filling sample that usually comes with winter jackets.
This. I had this attached in my winter jacket

I live in a cold state in the u.s. Not once have I seen this while buying a coat or jacket. Where do they do this?

I have to imagine companies these days realized they could save 63 cents a year by not doing it.
I also suspect they dont want customers to see whatever cheap shredded plastic junk they're stuffing with.
You are right. This is what it looks like now (this is from a VERY reputable down bedding/apparel company in the US)

I live in Europe also. This might be a European thing
They have this in Canada too
I’ve seen this in SoCal here and there. Maybe it’s more of a designer thing?
Name checks out. You must be a true professional! 😉
So it's there so the customer can see what the inside insulation looks like? Do I understand correctly?

insulation
Solved!
That seems… wasteful. Just what the world needs, more useless plastic.

But if you flip it around it's wicked witch
Mind blown
Some coats come with a clear packet to show the filling. Sort of like shoes sometimes have a foam piece to feel the material
Am I just buying really cheap crap? I’ve never seen either of those things you’re describing.
No... I've used top brands and models of technical clothes when I was younger and hiked. I've never seen this kind of item.
Skechers used to have the pieces of foam with some of their shoes, but I’ve never had a coat with one.

You found the company! That’s a match for the lettering on the capsule

I got something like this with a jacket it's a sample of the filling

I see all 3 pictures. Not sure if you're on the mobile app, but it does weird things sometimes.

Just found this! Logo seems similar.
The logo is identical. It seems it was printed reverse on the OP's item.
yes, op has the tail pushing forward,which is wrong.
Sample of the filling from a jacket or sleeping bag or similar product.
It’s a sample of the filling from a coat or jacket. I have a down jacket and one of these came with it.
I think comforters and pillows may also sometimes have this
That looks like it’d work well for a bloody nose if you don’t shove it up too far. Out of the package of course. lol.
