1) A well-known brand of very high quality outdoor gear, especially jackets, backpacks, and tents.
2) A brand-name that has regrettably been appropriated by thugs and yuppies alike as a way of either projecting an image of wealth or interest in rugged activities and the great outdoors.

I was talking to this guy at the trailhead, and noticed that even though his North Face pack had to be a good 15-20 years old and faded from the sun, it wasn't ripped and all the seams were still solid! I hope my Gore-tex jacket lasts that long.

Staci's mom got her a North Face and Ugg boots so she would fit in with her friends and always be a virgin.

expensive type of jacket that yuppy young men and women wear as a way to:
1) make a statement that they're rich.
2) keep very warm, since they're good jackets.
I prefer wearing mine for the second reason, but hey, #1 isn't all that bad...

The North Face, also known as, the "white man's J's" (Jordan Sneakers), is a company which produces outdoor goods of superior quality. That is undeniable. The North Face brand is often worn by people of all social stratifications to emphasize their wealth, conformity, and feelings of financial superiority; unless worn by actual adventurers or people who truly value the quality of The North Face products.
Hiker: I see that we're both wearing the same North Face fleece and Zippo lighters. I take it you like hiking as well?
Douche: Hold on, someone is calling me on my Blackberry.
(Yes, I know this example was already posted by 'birdandbee', but this is the perfect example describing typical The North Face wearers.)

A line of winter wear that comes in twelve shades of black and is worn by stuck-up college students who feel an overwhelming need to fit in. Most people justify their wearing of The North Face by preaching about how warm the coats are in order to hide the fact that they're most likely a pretentious snob who lacks taste and the ability to impress anyone with originality.
