Cap ♪ THE NORTH FACE North Face GOLDWIN Goldwin ♪ Hat Bowshi Men's & Ladies' Free Size Unisex ■3664 Goldwin initially imported and sold The North Face in Japan, but in 1994, they acquired the trademark rights and were able to develop their own products in Japan, allowing them to create apparel in sizes suitable for Japanese people. Therefore, most of the North Face products sold in Japan are manufactured by Goldwin. So, the North Face headquarters doesn't make apparel for the Japanese market. However, they do provide materials and technology. By the way, there are many fashion and apparel brands with this kind of structure. For example, you might buy a Bianchi bicycle from an Italian manufacturer and think it's made in Italy, but the planning and manufacturing were actually done by a company in Osaka. However, the quality of Goldwin-made North Face products is highly regarded, so I think it's safer to have a Goldwin tag than a suspicious parallel import. By the way, The North Face in the United States was acquired by a company called VF Corporation, and this company sells The North Face in America. Some products are the same as those sold in Japan, but there are also many products not sold in Japan.
