Anyone that would wear North Face apparel is a complete poser.

It's like most brands, it starts out as something that is maybe useful, then it becomes fashionable and suddenly the company that makes it thinks they're a god-tier influence.

They usually fall just as quick as they rose when $next_big_thing comes along.

holy shit - that's comical! their product relies on petroleum byproducts (nylon & polyester) but refuses sell their products for money to a petro company.

and according to an 2017 Outdoor Magazine article:

>efore a North Face Denali fleece jacket lands on the racks at your local gear shop, it travels through 23 factories in seven different countries and three states in the U.S. Thread comes from Honduras; brass eyelets from Colombia; polyester yarn from North Carolina; nylon yarn, zipper pulls, and cord from China; and polyester fabric and nylon shell fabric from Taiwan. All these materials are flown to El Salvador, where Brooklyn Manufacturing’s 117 machine operators turn them into the iconic fleece jackets.

Not like they rely on oil to fly their shit around to take advantage of low cost labor and materials. what a bunch of hypocritical losers

That is amusing. Other than the metals, it sounds like everything else in their jackets is manufactured from petro-chem tech. Even the dyes are petro based.
