Fashion On The Web

We all know that if you’re after a outdoor jacket for whatever purpose then there’s only one name to be bought and trusted and that is The North Face.

If you’re looking on eBay for a jacket then you should be aware that there are some brilliant fakes out there that will easily pass an untrained eye. You more than likely won’t find a bargain on eBay either and even the fakes can still reach near street value.

Below we have compiled a list of spot checks that you can do on your new jacket to check for authenticity.

1) The stitched logo on the rear, should have each letter stitched individually if there’s any thread going from letter to letter chances are it’s a fake.

2) Shower Test, if you put your The North Face jacket on in the shower, and run water down the back you should be able to stand there all day if it it starts getting damp then that’s another bad sign.

3) Paperwork, you should of got some small care cards with your new jacket. Tell you what to use when you wash it and how to retain the water retention.

4) Stitching, the stitching should be high quality and stay the same distance from the stitch line to the edge of the garment. If there are any holes or missing stitching then chances are it will be a fake.

Shopping Centres are the best places to shop as everything is under one roof, so even if the weather is bad outside then you can be nice and warm inside.

Victoria Centre Shopping Centre in Harrogate is great, as there is a multi story car park near the train station, but don’t worry as there is a full walkway over the train line which is covered and heated so you can stay warm and dry in the bad weather.

The car park will approximately hold 1500 cars in the multi story car park. Saturdays can be slightly manic trying to find a space, but our top tip is to drive straight to the top floor as there is usually plenty of spaces up there.

Victoria Centre Shopping Centre covers all aspects of shopping from ladies fashion with shops such as H&M, Interacionale, La Senza and New Look which all have the latest fashions at the lowest prices.

Mobile Phones are even covered with 2 stores Phones 4U and the 3 Store, the only issue with these is that they are on the outer part of the building so you will need to venture outside.

Food & Drink are covered well, but lacking any fast food restraints does let the Victoria Centre Shopping Centre down slightly. Drinks are covered with Starbucks and Caffe Latino, food can be covered by The Cornish Bakery and Thomas’s.
