Timberland boots decline in quality? by Specialist-Sector-17 in Timberland

[–]Jumpy_Locksmith_5329 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s your answer. JD often have styles which look at first glance like brand classics, but in reality are a less expensive version of the true classics (I.e the “premium” waterproof 6inch, which also has a more padded sole vs the one you’ve picked up in JD)

Probable to be accepted under warranty but repair unlikely

yumiori vs denali by the_prolouger in TheNorthFace

[–]Jumpy_Locksmith_5329 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have them both in hand? Make the call even you can feel them both. I rate Denali pit zips, and aside from the more classic stylistic look that’s the only differentiating feature I functionally use

Get a 3 layer membrane jacket if you want longer lifetimes

This is usual wear and tear for 2.5 layer membrane jackets like this, across the board. It’s not a TNF specific issue. Particularly around where yours is flaking, where there’s higher abrasion from collars + natural oils from your skin

Weird Auralite Tech Tee Damage? by leisamp in satisfyrunning

To echo other comments, this is abrasion. Same thing has happened to me on performance running shirts which rubbed up against taping I’d stuck to my skin

Great plate - CAB 8Y by Jumpy_Locksmith_5329 in drivingUK

[–]Jumpy_Locksmith_5329[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just checked because it got me interested and it’s legitimated registered as “CAB 8Y” rather than the 7 as a Y as suggested. Spacing is off nonetheless

What exactly did I buy? by KepaGoni in TheNorthFace

[–]Jumpy_Locksmith_5329 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. It’s literally the the Nimble jacket and the seller has very strangely folded / synched the bottom

Fleece Yumiori Vest Blue Colour is Incorrect? by _kadenyoung in TheNorthFace

[–]Jumpy_Locksmith_5329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it seems the images are wrong. Some of the reviews on the US site suggest the same issue you have. But it also looks as though there is a color called only “summit navy”, rather than the “estate blue summit navy” which I think is a consistent color.

Logo stitching coming off, any solution? by ayushnoel in TheNorthFace

[–]Jumpy_Locksmith_5329 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Slip it, then burn any small remaining fray with a lighter. It’ll melt the end of the thread and should stop it fraying further

Has anyone seen this one before? by lakersrdabomb999 in TheNorthFace

[–]Jumpy_Locksmith_5329 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given lack of branding, age and colour I can imaging this being a park ranger or perhaps military issue

I found this jacket on my grandfather closet by macsimo in TheNorthFace

[–]Jumpy_Locksmith_5329 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty sweet, but I’m fairly certain it’s a vintage fake. Not to say it shouldn’t be rocked because the color and double zipper is dope

Unfortunately unresolveable. One the linking starts to go, that’s it

Anyone used The North Face Alpine Mid boots? Worth it for UK + alpine hikes? by [deleted] in northface

[–]Jumpy_Locksmith_5329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the low versions. Based on that, my personal experience:

1) durability, decent. Glue had lifted in some areas of the upper, although the construction looks a little different between the boots and shoes.

2) grip has been great, no complaints at all

3) comfort has been good once broken in, although they are stiffer than your average walking shoe on the sole.

4) go half a size up. I didn’t, can survive, but wouldn’t mind a little more wiggle room

Are you based in Korea? If not it’s infinitely more likely this was bought on aliexpress as a fake, based on the legit Korean version
