[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are people jumping all over the "unintentional." Every purchase in life is intentional -- you had the free will to buy it or not. I'm guessing the OP wanted to just talk about status symbols -- someone buys a North Face bc they want a fleece and look turns out they're wearing what someone else considers a status symbol.[/quote]

No one accidentally buys a NorthFace without caring, on some level, that it has a visible NorthFace logo. Don't be dense. If NorthFace is not an intentional, purposeful statement of status, I don't know what is.[/quote]

Actually the opposite is true now for NorthFace. You can get a cheap NorthFace at Dicks. But at a point in time, you could not get  NorthFace unless you went on a vacation out North.

It's like wearing a Princeton tshirt. It is the school you went to, yes you intentionally went to Princeton, you intentionally wear the shirt, but who doesn't where a shirt or tshirt from their school every now and then. It's not intentionally a status symbol, it is a status symbol.

NF is not even popular any more.[/quote]
