mate there isnt enough of a buzz surrounding North Face to warrant people to produce fakes and in particular the jacket in question isnt exactly top trendy stuff so the chances are even less so. not putting it down though son. i fucking love NF kit. if the company made more of their branding/marketing etc and hooked up a couple of endorsments (pharrell type shit) then they could go far. There is a buzz about it in China. Enough of a buzz that when I was in Shenzen last week, the infamous 'fakes mall' at the bus station was stuffed to the rafers with counterfeit North Face. Bizarrely it is as knocked off as LV out here, so there you go. I'd be careful. The copyists usually copy very few styles, so if you seent eh same style, or colourway cropping up on eBay, beware. |

Yeah course its worth tossers faking these jackets when they are selling for £145+! Just because there not the hieght of fashion.. But that one looks genuine in the photo and the seller has spot on feedback so should be ok.. |
