No. They've alienated their base. It's Mountain Hardware, Marmot or Patagonia now. North Face is for teens.[/quote]

I just bought a Marmot jacket! Tired of the North Face ubiquitousness. [/quote]

Well there goes the "unintentional status symbol" status. [/quote]

$100 for a fleece hoody? That's insane. [/quote]

it's expensive but not for a reason. That is why it is not "unintentional" where HH was something only people who sail wore (until Macy's picked up the line) and MH is something you only would buy if you are a mountain climber (until Dick's picked up the line), it was only sold in mountain climbing stores.

In a year it will no longer be "unintentional" because everybody can get it. Just like Marmot.

Marmot is just a knock off of North Face. It has no unintentionalness about it. It's just moderately good expensive clothes.

UnderArmour use to have that ... if you did not live in MD, you could not get UA. If you went to California with UnderArmour people knew you were from the East Coast or they  knew you travelled there.

We would send UA to our aupair in Europe becuase you could only get Nike and Addidas in Europe. So, UA was an unintentional staus symbol ("oh my host family sent it to me")[/quote]
