Hey guys! Happy after-Christmas. Quick question (with more to follow, probably): I just won an auction for a North Face Foxy Suede women's jacket---I bid $199 (the buy-it-now was $325). The seller is gotyourgear. Has anyone worked with this guy before? He has over 19000 feedback. What are my chances of getting an authentic TNF jacket?

welcome silvermendacity,
i haven't personally bought from him and i dont know anyone who has.
his stuff looks legit but their not much detailed pics.
he's not on the whitelist but if your item comes up good then that might change.
he has an interesting review for which i am awaiting a reply from an email i sent him a couple of days ago, but they are closed till the holidays are over.
please keep us posted.

I don't like the use of so many stock photos, but the items are not the standard fakes, so maybe it'll turn out good.
Please keep us informed!

Thanks guys. I'm not very familiar with The North Face, but I wanted to get a new jacket as I'll be snowboarding for the first time this winter. I'll post pics as soon as I get it.

Got my jacket! I had a moment of panic when I opened the box to find that the jacket didn't look at all like the picture on the NF website (which shows the tan jacket with white faux fur). Instead, this jacket had the tan exterior with a black interior, like the grey model. So I freaked out and called TNF, only to find out that their pre-production pictures of this model were incorrect, and that both colors were shipped this year with black lining and fur. Whee!
I'm feeling optimistic about this jacket, since it's a new model and I'm hoping no one's had a chance to make knock-offs yet. Here are some pictures (hope they work):

What do you guys think? Looks pretty good to me, but then again, I know nothing about the North Face

The jacket looks authentic. It's got the new style tags, the large chunky zipper (of which I'm not a fan), and what TNF refers to as 'pant-a-locks'. The front TNF logo doesn't look great, but isn't offensive either. I'll assume the last photo is the google cloth?
Nice jacket.

Yeah, that's the goggle cloth. I figured I'd just take pictures of all the logos I could find 
I'm glad it's looking good so far. Thanks Qwerty

thanks for the redirect Andrew. im thinking about buying a McMurdo parka from this seller as well and it's good to hear that your jacket is real (it looks nice too).
Also, Andrew, have you received a response from the seller?
thanks

i never receive a reply but thats not to mean he doesn't sell genuine gear.
if there had been a particular item i was interested in i would have persued it and sent him additional questions.
he seems to be a big player in outdoor gear on ebay. 21,000 positive feedback.
if you look at his stuff for sale it is often top end TNF gear - freeriders etc along with brands such as 'black diamond' and 'scarpa' - the list goes on.
these items are all TOP range outdoor stuff.
i seriously doubt you will have any problems with a mcmurdo from this guy.
good luck.
