Personalization is important in the fashion choices of most consumers, as many are looking for clothes that serve as a reflection of themselves. The [north face](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hmlyn-baltoro-jacket) is helping to further this concept, by making personalization accessible to the masses. Launched in 2019, the 141 Customs program allows people to print their own design or colorway onto a North Face silhouette. Now, people can continue the customization process, but they're able to choose from multiple silhouettes.
