Returns

Returns and order support.

Most items sold by Northern Outfitters are pre-owned, vintage or both. We photograph, measure and describe each piece carefully, including noted flaws where relevant. Please review the photos, measurements, condition grade and item notes before placing an order.

Review photos

Product photos form part of each listing. We include images of the item and note visible flaws where relevant so you can review the condition before purchase.

Compare measurements

Listed measurements are the main sizing guide, especially for vintage, Japanese, European and American garments.

Ask before ordering

If sizing, condition or shipping is unclear, contact us before placing your order.

Returns policy

We aim to make each listing clear before purchase. Because most stock is pre-owned or vintage, signs of age or use may be present and should be expected where shown, described or consistent with the listed condition grade.

01

Change of mind

Because each item is individually sourced and listed as a one-off piece, we are unable to offer returns for change of mind. Please review the listing carefully and contact us before ordering if anything is unclear.

02

Sizing

Sizing can vary between brands, countries and eras. We provide flat measurements to help you compare with a similar garment you already own. Size-based returns are not usually accepted where measurements were provided and the item matches the listing.

03

Expected vintage wear

Vintage and pre-owned pieces may show signs of age, wear, fading, repairs or marks. We show and describe notable signs of use where relevant. Returns are not usually accepted for wear that was shown, described or consistent with the listed condition grade.

04

Issue with your order

If your order arrives with a significant issue that was not shown or described, contact us with your order number and clear photos so we can review it.
