North Face ?

One thing every student needs for school is a bookbag. The most common bookbag is North Face. There are many reasons on why these bookbags are so famous. Hands down I would not use another bookbag besides north faces. These bags last very long. Personally I buy a new north face every two years. They can last much longer but I usually get them dirty. One fact is that North Face are made with quality in mind.
The North Face Have released many different models of their bookbags. Some are the hot shot, big shot, recon, modem, vault, and jester. Colors have also been varied over the years. There are tons of different colors of each model. Also there have different editions, one edition is the flag series. This consist of a black boookbag with red trim, and different countries flag on it. Also the name is changed for these series. I had the recon North Face from 8th grade and used it untill i got in 10 th grade. Now i am using the jester for the first year. I did enjoy the Recon much more than my jester. I paid $65.00 for my jester and $90.00 for my recon. Obviously you get what you pay for. On the recon there was a secret pocket against your back. The Jester begins to rip on the bottom, when you place it on the floor.
Prices change in model, edition, and color. The hot shot, recon, big shot, and boraleous cost about $90.00-$100.00. The vault, jester, modem, and slingshot cost from $65.00-$75.00. Some girl models have also been released. One is the pandora. I bought my sister the pandora for her birthday and it cost $40.00. If you are still rocking a jansport, i hope i convinced you go get out and buy a north face.

We are in a NEW ERA ( did not let me upload a picture)

Almost every teen has at least one of these. One famous accessory is the New Era cap. These hats are also known as "fited's." There is a cap for ever major league baseball team, even some minor league teams. How To determine your size in these hats is by size. I personally own about 12 New Era hats.
Not only are there baseball team hats, there are also basketball, hockey, and brand New Era Hats. An interesting fact about these hats are they are the on field hats. This means in the major league the players use the exact hats. They are not made different at all. Now that is something that can make you feel like an all star. In the major leagues the players only wear two different colors of their hats. One is the home hat and one is the away hat. New Era sells custom colors of every hat. Example: If you want a Met hat, you can choose from hundreds of styles and colors.
Many people wear these hats to match with a pair of sneakers or an outfit. Also there is many ways to wear your hat. One wa is to bend the brim. I think that hat looks better with a bent brim. However some people feel the brim should be left straight and look like a duck. After all it is a baseball hat. On the field do you see them playing with a straight brim ? no. Hats are bent to keep the sun out of your eyes. Normal sizes sold are 7-8. i wear a size 7 1/4. My classmate Alberto wears a size 7 3/8.
If you are interested in buying a New Era hat there are many places where they are available. One place is the makers Neweracap.com. Another place to purchase from is Lids.com.
