I have got some nice North sails gear, T shirts etc, looks good, nice to stand out with designer gear, that no one else is wearing  Smile

Not surprising no one else is wearing it, paying £25-£30 to be an advertising hoarding for an American company is just ridiculous..
They should give them away..

Everything you buy is advertising, cars for instance.

Hope the sizing was correct   LOL Wink.
North once brought five sails to the British moth nationals . Four didn’t measure , so North took them away and recut them and brought them back a couple of days later. Three were ok and one still didn’t measure . The sailor concerned let them have one more go at correcting it but it still didn’t measure. North then offered to make him a new sail or have his money back and keep the first sail . He took the second option and he went to HD sails who made him a new sail and recut the north so it measured.
I am not saying anything about Norths customer service which was second to none but perhaps the original problems shouldn’t  have happened in the first place . 😀

The one arm was a bit longer than the other two.

I buy a car because it fits a specific purpose not because of the advertising. I can buy many T shirts That fits the purpose of the  North one, that don't advertise and cost much less.

I built my own boat, Wood, Plywood, Fibreglass, resin, paint, screws.. No one can tell what companies supplied the stuff.. The only things that have  logos are the sails and  I could remove the advert in the corner...

I just got a Rolling Stones T-shirt, you know the one with the lips on it, expensive, but worth it     
Look around your kitchen, every item is named, visitors come in and say, how you finding the Neff cooker? If you say OK, they will probably get one, sitting down for lunch, I have counted seventeen manufacturers names. Can't see how you can go through a single day without seeing manufacturers names.

I can see 17 manufacturers names without turning my head at this lab desk... They are all the same one .. The company I work for. oh and Dell on this computer..

If I get visitors in the kitchen, the cat will have to leave, there ain't enough room..
 
Never bought anything because of an advert, If I need something I'll research the best product for the job, and that won't include looking at manufacturers lying adverts.

The only things that I have deliberately bought with a logo on them, are Three Rivers Race polo shirts, various sailing and model railway association / event shirts to support their activities, and The British Legion Poppy which is a logo in it's own right.
