Timothy J. Reynolds for North Face 2016- 03.18.16
The North Face Homestead Collection grabbed me instantly with the popping faceted, shadowy graphics… which are by 3D illustrator Timothy J. Reynolds. They feel like a modern digi-camo taken to a whole new level… you’d blend right into a vintage video game campsite made of polygons? Somehow the Americans get red, and the UK get green (and their tent comes with the Tentertainment system?!?!) - but both are pretty stunning. Discovering the Homestead Collection on Timothy’s twitter, i had to know more! See the pictures and more details of the collection on the next page!
First i was intrigued by this tweet…
… which lead me to this tweet! At which point i really needed to see more!
The US gets the Red Homestead line, and the UK gets the Green Homestead line!
North Face Homestead Roomy 2 Tent
North Face Homestead Room 2 Tent
The UK version INCLUDES the Tentertainment Center - whereas it’s sold separately for Americans. It is a pole and stake bag that doubles as a gear loft, a see-through, hear-through tablet and portable speaker pocket, and a chessboard or checkerboard.
North Face Homestead TWIN 20/-7 Sleeping Bag - which lets you zip two (or more?) together to make one giant sleeping bag! And… has an included compression stuffsack features printed fabric and doubles as a simple backpack!
Why does the UK get that great looking green? It’s not Fall in New Hampshire all the time ya know. The HOMESTEAD ROOMY 2 looks like a re vamped Kelty Vortex II which happens to be good, because I like 2 sleeves over a mess of finicky hooks.
I will buy one IF you get me that in green and cut some weight somehow. I still have the Kelty Vortex II
You can reply to my e-mail if you like, if you are real that is.. My back is telling me I am but pain tends to let you know your’e still alive right ?
