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.
