Are you sick & tired of seeing North Face jackets all over the face of the Earth? - Page 2 - BARF

I know... And what about all these people wearing jeans?

Agent Orange · 01-15-2011, 10:38 AM

Every asian in SF wears one. It's also casual wear for Marina folks.

BrassPremier · 01-15-2011, 10:46 AM

Brands are for sheep, I weave and cobble everything I wear myself.

jdhu · 01-15-2011, 11:57 AM

I'm wearing one as we speak (Xmas gift), but yeah, do kind of get sick of EVERYONE else wearing the same thing.

I went out with 2 friends last night, all 3 of us in North Face outerwear (not coordinated)...

North Face does not have lifetime warranty on newer products that it used to offer.

jacksprat · 01-15-2011, 12:11 PM

No. My self esteem and sense of individuality aren't defined by my clothing. Everyone can wear the same brand as me.

*shrug* I have a North Face backpack, great bag. Not quite as tough as the NF bag I had previously, but nicer.

They make great stuff. I've wished I had a NF jacket since I was about 13, pretty much because of that previous backpack.

I totally understand the frustration with wearing adventure gear like designer clothing, but even though I'm not trekking a frozen mountain the weather I ride through calls for a bit more than a light windbreaker and Jansport pos bag

theyre just wearing NF fleeces and shit. it isnt like they are out rocking a himalayan down suit, with gators over their boots and two layer gloves where the pinky and ring finer and one piece. theyre wearing stuff thats for casual lifestyle anyway.

its like wearing an astars shirt.

Have you checked out a latest fashion trend?

Poxy · 01-15-2011, 05:24 PM

I personally try not to wear anything that has words on it.

No, Cliff Clavin would have also told everyone that the North Face actually almost went bankrupt and was sold to VF for near nothing just before they went into Chapter 11. An interesting tangent is that many of the management team that ran North Face into the ground then went on to purchase another iconic brand that had fallen on hard times, revitalized it and made a small fortune selling it. Guess which one.

with today's ghey looking "slim fit" for men, it's hard to find a relaxed casual fitting clothes...not a big fan of brands but north face or timberland seems to be the few brands that have normal fitting clothes...
