You can't throw a stone without it hitting someone wearing NorthFace fleece and/or backpack.. Curious if this obsession is unique to Chicago or all over US/World?

Down here in Dallas, and Texas in general its pretty common. It's big in Greek life at colleges as well. Walk around SMU and you'll find sperry's, nike dry fit shorts, and a north face.

Sometime about 10 years ago it began a transformation from a legit outdoor gear brand to an annoying preppy/yuppie/fraternity/sorority fashion brand. It seems to have reached full saturation with that crowd the past 3-4 years, meaning it will hopefully soon go out of style with them. Definitely not just a Chicago thing.

In highschool I had no idea what Northface was. I went to college in Michigan and it was everywhere. Now I see it everywhere. I blame the MSU and UoM grads.

It's a "big 10" brand these days.

Had no idea or even heard of the northface brand during my middle school days. High School is when i discovered how popular it was.

No, it's worn by the same types of people on both coasts and in the south and west, too.

Yep. I'd also add that it's only in certain parts of Chicago that you see it everywhere. Primarily around college campuses and areas with a lot recent college grads.
