What would you call a $55 hoodie next to a $20 Magellan hoodie?

Just imagine how 1/6 would've played out if DC hadn't had such strict gun laws.

Two people starred his post as of the time of this signature. Those 3 people are allowed to vote in the US.

Northface is way over priced. You can get same exact clothing (or better) without their logo for half the price.

Patagonia did the same thing to my O&G company, so we just bought them and put the logo on ourselves.

Actually, this is exactly how the wedding cake scenario should have been handled. Business gets to live (or die) how it wishes, and the dissatisfied party can tell its story and encourage its supporters to go elsewhere.

I find NF a dumb company way to much advertising on their apparel. Now have a reason to not even look at their products.
The only apparel I purchase that has "advertising" on them is Aggie stuff or Islander (TAMUCC) stuff.

Ironically North Face is owned by VF (Vanity Fair), which also owns Williamson-Dickie, Bulwark, WorkRite, Walls, Van's, and whole host of other companies. They recently spun off Wrangler and their jean division.

VF used to be a company, although public, run by smart conservative good ol' boys from Greensboro, NC. Don't know if it still is, but it was the largest apparel company in the world at one time.

Have done work for them and around them in the past, it is a totally different company than it was even 10 years ago. They focus globally now, and the US is only a cog, albeit an important one, in the global gears.

I wonder if that O&G company has any folks wearing Bulwark or Dickies FR in the field?

Was eyeballing a Northface hoodie at Academy, didn't buy because it was stupid expensive, might have to go get it for the lulz.
You should do that, it will be a collector item soon !

While you're at it move to someplace where you can wear it in style, someplace really cold, which is not Texas. Cya, was really not nice know'in ya !

Isn't it weird that one unit refuses to do business with O&G while another unit probably is a major supplier, and most likely all because of the type of employees drawn to that first unit due to market location and target market, and reputation?

It's amazing people don't realize or acknowledge the vast inconsistencies and hypocrisies we all engage in at some level or other, particularly in business, simply due to the pragmatic nature of having ultimately to compete.

That makes me wish Innovex Inc. had a web store where I could buy a jacket or shirt with their logo on it.

Well said and very true.

I will note that VF is, or was when I was around them, a very in "lockstep" company. By that I mean they take a corporate position, so if the Northface dude that started this wasn't endorsed by the top bosses he is likely history. Or maybe they have been given the green light to be SJW's.

It is all part of changing time, odd nonsensical times.

If Northface really wanted to make a difference, they should quite using all hydrocarbon derivative products in their business immediately.


And by make a difference difference, you mean maximize virtue signal points.

Without O&G, Northface and Patagonia machine production lines would be silent.

Neither company has reached carbon neutral...it's just a virtue signaling goal still not be achieved in 2021!

Here's why:

Quote:

Patagonia, which has long been politically active, has raised the specter of a lawsuit against Trump if he tries to roll back national monuments that Obama created under the Antiquities Act.

Corporations always run the risk of alienating customers when they step into the political sphere. But to the outdoor industry, which has a customer and employee base that skews liberal, the need to protect the environment outweighs the potential risks.


Screw them!

What's next, a leather company refusing to sell products to ranchers?
If I had the time I bet I could find an article that states that situation or similar.
