A outerwear manufacturer that mass produced their gear and markets through product placement and athletes paid to wear their products. Despite generally being thought of as superior gear for these reasons other companies produce far better equipment. These pieces of clothing are mean for average people not actual athletes and outdoorsmen. If you want better gear buy mountain hard wear, mammut, arcteryx, rab, marmot, or la sportiva.
Hey look, people going into the north face store. I guess they are gonna buy overpriced fashionable clothing.

Preppy Name Brand, sells overpriced clothing that rips or tears easily and is made of extremely cheap material. Also, looks extremely queer and is only worn by bandwagoners.

The North Face is a brand of clothing usually worn by people who know nothing of style and just enjoy being a conformist. These people are usually F.O.B.(fresh off boat) and of Asian decent, but not necessarily.

The brand of clothing is usually accompanied by a Ghotti blow out, Zippo lighters and a phone designed for construction workers-Nextels.
These people are of course not without enemies: people with the ability to think beyond the limitations of a 2 mile radius, people with a sense of style, Goths, tourist and Jews.

People who wear TNF and wear it proudly can do so, even against such crude scrutiny, simply by using a defensive measure where they hypnotize themselves into believing that everyone’s just jealous and everyone’s too poor to afford this brand of clothing.
If you take that The north face jacket you'll look less fobby than you are

The North Face is an exceptionally good clothing manufacturer headquartered in my hometown, Alameda, California, aka the coolest Bay Area city you've never heard of. The North Face makes outdoor and casual wear that is extremely well made, and looks good too. Their hoodies are among the best I've ever owned.

Some people label it as Yuppie clothing, but that's just because they're freezing their asses off in their Supreme leather jacket. Why spend $300 on a skimpy designer jacket made from napkins when you can spend $40 on the warmest motherfucking hoodie ever?

I'll leave it at that.
Me- "The North Face makes great clothes!"

1) A well-known brand of very high quality outdoor gear, especially jackets, backpacks, and tents.

2) A brand-name that has regrettably been appropriated by thugs and yuppies alike as a way of either projecting an image of wealth or interest in rugged activities and the great outdoors.
I was talking to this guy at the trailhead, and noticed that even though his North Face pack had to be a good 15-20 years old and faded from the sun, it wasn't ripped and all the seams were still solid! I hope my Gore-tex jacket lasts that long.

the status symbol of suburban teens. commonly worn by females with ugg boots and sweat pants. though they claim "it's comfortable" common male side effects include: hyphema, eye herpes, glaucoma, corneal abrasion, and projectile vomiting.
Staci's mom got her a North Face and Ugg boots so she would fit in with her friends and always be a virgin.
