Withholding paycheck over a sweatshirt

Several months ago my work got everyone in the office a Patagonia zip sweater or vest with our logo. I assumed it was mine to keep because there was no contracts or any notices that said it must be kept in the office, returned, etc. I gave them a 4 week notice and my last day is tomorrow. I just received a letter from them that if I don’t return the jacket that they will withhold my last paycheck. I thought I was leaving on good terms but this just seems petty. Is it legal?
