i started seeing people wear these jackets over ten years ago in new york..... everytime i drive by john oliver sec, i see a gang of these jackets walking down the street. are these kids getting hand-me-downs or something or are they still selling the same jacket as they did a decade ago?

they all look the same of the NF series
It has to be NF 700 series or they wont be considered gangster or cool.

i got mine many yrs ago before they were super popular because of camping/vacationing up north. now i dont wanna wear it anymore purely because i dont want to get lumped into the same group as those mini thuggers w/ murses, see-thru kappa track pants and skunk hair at metro.

i bought mine a few years back... i still wear it when i dress scrubby or when i go to work on my car... other then that... i dont wear it to like metrotown or anything.... its freaking expensive... 300 bucks! how can high school kids afford these... i swear kids buy them because its "gangster" not becauseits warm.

never had one ha.. but i did have one that looked like it.
during the spring/summer time in high school, i saw this guy wearing a north face jacket. i asked him if he was boiling hot and he answered yes... then i asked him why he was wearing it and he answered back by saying it was purely because of style or coolness???
wuuhoo

i have to drop in and defend the North Face Nuptse jacket
this is hands down utility-wise the best investment I've ever made in a jacket- period.
Its freaking warm and you dont need lots of layers underneath, but it transitions so that when you get into a warmer atmosphere, you dont feel too warm. Im sure it has something to do with the feathers inside.
Its extremely comfortable to wear too
for $300 i've braved some serious elements with it and i've had it for over 5 seasons
too bad little gangster homos make them look cheesy

I have one lol. Got it like 7 years ago. I only really where it now like if I'm at home and I need to go outside to blaze or something. Can't deny the warmth of the jacket.

I'm not going to lie, I laugh at people who wear these. If it's a big crowd of people, I laugh even harder.
i admit that i have one... in white....
i got it 5 years ago though

lol thats why they wear it in the summer as well
Northface, Kappa, Murse Bags (lame to begin with), C.A., LV, Coach, the list goes on..
So many things ruined by Little thugs. I am sure, they were never LV's target audience.

I have one and still wear it. Usually in the mornings going to school or work. But sometimes i seriously dont want to wear it since those LG's gave it a bad sterotypical look.

puffy jackets make them look "buff"

i admit i got 2 of them...... since 5 years ago. and yes THEY WERE the shit you dont know how usefull these jackets are LOL. If you pull the cords on the bottom to the max you can stuff tons of bags of chips and drinks in there PLUS weed E and other drugs, PLUS you can have your machete in your jacket 2. AWESOME best jacket EVER.
PS I havent wore mine in a long ass time

I remember a few years back during the summer time when it was blazing hot, i was in my parents car and i saw these 2 jammer looking kids and one of them was wearing a bomber jacket! holy shit man i remember i was blasting the AC that day cause it was so dam hot.. ( i remember this quite well because i practially told everyone i knew and made fun of them =p haha )

I got mine about 6 years ago, from my ex since she got it for dirt cheap when she use to work at the Bay (clearance+bay day discount+staff discount = ~$100!!). I took it with me to Japan for the year I was there and it totally didn't stand up to the cold there. I had to wear a sweater layer to keep warm as opposed to here were I can get away with just a T or a long sleeve. But I still wear it, even wore it today to work even though it's all stained up. Even got a small rip in one of the sleeves that I sewed up. But ya...between the NF down jacket and the Helly Hansen down jacket I have, HH hands down for warmth.

I bought this hoody about a month ago. It was my first North Face product. It is the warmest hoody i've ever worn. And incredibly comfortable and fits perfect.

Then last week I got this jacket. It's not one of those bomber style ones so I hope I don't get hated on. It's warm as hell too!

I think the north face makes some of the highest quality jackets and outerwear available. Definitely worth their price imo.

That is near impossible. They were overplayed 5 years ago and are still overplayed. This is a trend that wil llive on forever until The North Face faces bankrupcy.

North Face Gotham, the most versatile jacket ive ever worn.
You know whats funny. I have a north face jacket, its not down but it is Prima Loft, but it has the down look, but its thinner. Anyways, i was reading an article online about mens fashion, and how North face jackets are NOT stylish ever, unless you are wearing it in the winter (because hey, its just a winter coat after all right? why not wear it in winter to keep you warm).

hey redliine how much for the hoody?
wearing my 700 series bomber is good sometimes like when you need to go downstairs for a smoke or go run to the car for something... nothing heavy and its still warm, but id never wear that to go downtown or metrotown or anywhere decent
