The North Face outdoor jacket

The North Face is a globally recognized outdoor recreation product company. Founded in 1966 in San Francisco, California, it started as a climbing equipment retail store. The brand name was inspired by the coldest, most unforgiving side of a mountain.

While the brand originated in the United States, its manufacturing is distributed globally to ensure high-performance standards and supply chain efficiency. Production majorly takes place in countries like Vietnam, China, Bangladesh, and Cambodia. Since 2000, the brand has been a subsidiary of VF Corporation, an American global apparel and footwear powerhouse, which owns several major brands in the lifestyle and outdoor sectors.
