I am such a procrastinator and need to buy my 15 year old niece a gift. I have a gift card to a North Face outlet and I am thinking of getting her one of those fleeces, a light jacket or the knee length parka. Thoughts? |
It's not as popular as it once was, but I still see a lot of kids wearing north face. Just remember to include a gift receipt in case she'd like something different. |
I think they are still great sweaters and coats but yes they are no longer considered "valuable" and "hot". Our school used to keep north faces out of the general lost and found bin and kept secure but now they are lumped in with rest. I saw three or so coats strewn on the floor and no one cares for them. They were a couple of hundred in their hay days! |
Oh come on! I just bought one for DD and it was really expensive. Please don't tell me it's "out" now. ![]() |
not out as much as overdone. Now that EVERYONE is wearing them including grandma, Northface is just there. Their products are still fine. I am 39 and would not wear it (hate feeling like I am wearing a uniform) nor buy it for my kids since there are so many kids with the same jackets/sweatshirts-too easy to lose. |
Who cares????? |
Eh, from what I hear from my friend who is a social worker, they are still getting stolen at the local high school, so there must still be some interest in them. |
I really think clothes should not be a fashion statement alone. Get the north face with the gift receipt. It can happen to anything you buy and the teen are fickle in fashion |
She's going to love it! If she's never had one, then getting this gift will probably be a huge surprise for her. As PP mention, it isn't "out"as much as it is everywhere. |
North Face jackets are warm, not cool - bad joke! Kids still wear them. |
I think it depends where you live. The hot jacket right now is a coat made by a skiing company. I want to say Healy or something like that. Kids are being shot over these coats so I not saying to rush out and get one for your kids. |
You spent a lot of money on a coat because you thought it was "in?" How stupid are you? |

Healy? You mean Helly Hansen? And yes, you can get shot and your coat taken. The North Face is "out", so will be HH. |
the fact you buy things that have to be cool and in realy shows me that you are buying gifts for the wrong reason-trying to fit in based on your clothes, phones, cars, etc?? really? |
