related products. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms &#147;VF,&#148; &#147;the Company,&#148; &#147;we,&#148; &#147;us&#148; and &#147;our&#148; used herein refer to V.F. Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our vision is to grow by building leading lifestyle brands that excite consumers around the world. Lifestyle brands enable us to forge close
connections with consumers through inspirational and performance-based products that enhance their specific activities, areas of interest and ability to express their own individualism. Our lifestyle brands include <I>The North Face<SUP

store openings, e-commerce and omni-channel retailing. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">VF is highly diversified &#151; across brands, product categories, channels of
distribution, geographies and consumer demographics. We own a broad portfolio of brands in the outerwear, footwear, jeanswear, backpacks, luggage, sportswear, occupational and performance apparel categories. These products are marketed to consumers
shopping in specialty stores, upscale and traditional department stores, national chains, mass merchants and our own direct-to-consumer operations. Revenues from our direct-to-consumer business, which includes VF-operated stores and e-commerce
sites, represented 22% of total VF revenues in 2013. VF derived 38% of its 2013 revenues from outside the U.S., primarily in Europe, Asia, Canada, Latin America and Mexico. Many of our brands sell products in countries through licensees,
distributors and independently-operated partnership stores. To provide diversified products across multiple channels of distribution in different geographic areas, we balance efficient and flexible owned manufacturing with sourcing of finished goods
from independent contractors. We utilize state-of-the-art technologies for inventory replenishment that enable us to effectively and efficiently get the right assortment of products that match consumer demand. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For both management and internal financial reporting purposes, VF is organized by groupings of businesses called &#147;coalitions&#148; that
consist of the following: Outdoor&nbsp;&amp; Action Sports, Jeanswear, Imagewear, Sportswear and Contemporary Brands. These coalitions are our reportable segments for financial reporting purposes. Coalition management has the responsibility to build
and operate their brands, with certain financial, administrative and systems support and disciplines provided by central functions within VF. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our lifestyle business is represented by brands included in the Outdoor&nbsp;&amp; Action Sports, Sportswear and Contemporary Brands
Coalitions, which have the greatest potential in our portfolio to achieve higher long-term revenue, profit growth and profit margins compared to our other businesses. VF&#146;s Jeanswear and Imagewear Coalitions have demonstrated historically strong
levels of profitability and cash flow but lower revenue growth rates. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our principal executive offices are located at 105 Corporate Center
Boulevard, Greensboro, North&nbsp;Carolina 27408, and our telephone number is (336)&nbsp;424-6000. We maintain a website at www.vfc.com where general information about us is available. We are not incorporating the contents of the website into this

large customers; the financial strength of VF&#146;s customers; VF&#146;s response to changing fashion trends; increasing pressure on margins; VF&#146;s ability to implement its growth strategy; VF&#146;s ability to grow its international and

Incorporation may only be amended, altered, repealed or new By-laws or Articles adopted upon approval by at least 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by shareholders, unless the change was proposed by a majority of the &#147;disinterested
directors&#148; (as defined in the By-laws), in which case only a majority approval vote is required, or unless the change was approved by a majority vote of the disinterested directors. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are subject to Subchapter F of Chapter&nbsp;25 of the BCL. Subchapter F applies to a transaction between a publicly traded corporation and
an interested shareholder (defined generally to be any beneficial owner of 20% or more of the corporation&#146;s voting stock). Subchapter F prohibits such a corporation from engaging in a &#147;business combination&#148; (as defined in the BCL)
with an interested shareholder unless (i)&nbsp;the board of directors of such corporation gives approval to the proposed transaction or gives approval to the interested shareholder&#146;s acquisition of 20% of the shares entitled to vote in an
election of directors of such corporation, in either case prior to the date on which the shareholder first becomes an interested shareholder (the &#147;Share Acquisition Date&#148;), (ii)&nbsp;the interested shareholder owns at least 80% of the
stock of such corporation entitled to vote in an election of directors of such corporation and, no earlier than three months after such interested shareholder reaches such 80% level, the majority of the remaining shareholders approve the proposed
transaction and shareholders receive a minimum &#147;fair price&#148; for their shares (as set forth in the BCL) in the transaction and the other conditions of Subchapter F are met, (iii)&nbsp;holders of all outstanding shares of common stock of the
corporation approve the transaction, (iv)&nbsp;no earlier than five years after the Share Acquisition Date, a majority of the holders of the remaining shares entitled to vote in an election of directors approve the transaction, or (v)&nbsp;no
earlier than five years after the Share Acquisition Date, a majority of all holders of the shares of the corporation approve the transaction, all shareholders receive a minimum &#147;fair price&#148; for their shares (as set forth in the BCL) and
the other conditions of Subchapter F are met. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under certain circumstances, Subchapter F of the BCL makes it more difficult for an
interested shareholder to effect various business combinations with a corporation by imposing additional time delays and higher voting requirements with respect to such transactions. The provisions of Subchapter F should encourage persons interested
in acquiring us to negotiate in advance with our board of directors, since the five-year delay and higher shareholder voting requirements would not apply if such person, prior to acquiring 20% of our voting shares, obtained the approval of our board
for such acquisition or for the proposed business combination transaction. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Subchapter F of the BCL will not prevent a hostile takeover of
VF. It may, however, make more difficult or discourage a takeover of VF or the acquisition of control of VF by a significant shareholder and thus the removal of incumbent management. Some shareholders may find this disadvantageous in that they may
not be afforded the opportunity to participate in takeovers that are not approved as required by Subchapter F but in which shareholders might receive, for at least some of their shares, a substantial premium above the market price at the time of a
tender offer or other acquisition transaction. </P>

Subchapter E of Chapter&nbsp;25 of the BCL. Section&nbsp;2538 requires the approval of a majority of the disinterested shareholders with respect to certain transactions between an &#147;interested shareholder&#148; (as defined in
Section&nbsp;2538)&nbsp;and a publicly traded corporation unless certain procedural requirements are satisfied. Subchapter E of Chapter&nbsp;25 of the BCL requires a &#147;controlling person,&#148; defined generally as a person who acquires 20% or
more of the voting shares of a publicly traded corporation, to offer to purchase the shares of all other shareholders at &#147;fair value&#148; (determined as provided in Subchapter E). Fair value for this purpose is defined as a value not less than
the highest price paid per share by the controlling person during the 90-day period ending on and including the date the controlling person acquired 20% or more of the voting shares of the corporation, plus any control premium that is not already
reflected in such price. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Subchapter G of Chapter&nbsp;25 of the BCL also contains certain provisions applicable to a publicly traded
corporation pursuant to which, under certain circumstances, &#147;control shares&#148; (as defined in the BCL) lose voting rights until restored by a vote of a majority of disinterested shares and a majority of the outstanding shares. The
corporation may redeem the control shares if the acquiring person does not request restoration of voting rights. Subchapter H of Chapter&nbsp;25 of the BCL requires the disgorgement of profits realized from the deposition of certain stock occurring
18&nbsp;months after a person or group becomes a &#147;controlling person&#148; or group (as defined in the BCL). Subchapter&nbsp;I of Chapter&nbsp;25 of the BCL mandates severance compensation for eligible employees whose employment is terminated
within a certain period following a restoration of voting rights to control shares under Subchapter&nbsp;G of Chapter&nbsp;25. We have opted out of the provisions contained in Subchapters G, H and I of Chapter&nbsp;25 of the BCL. </P>

(the &#147;Indenture&#148;) which we entered into with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., formerly known as The Bank of New York Trust&nbsp;Company, N.A., as trustee (the &#147;Trustee&#148;), on October&nbsp;15, 2007 and will be our
unsecured obligations. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of debt securities which may be issued thereunder and provides that debt securities may be issued thereunder from time to time in one or more series. When we offer to
sell a particular series of debt securities, we will describe the specific terms for the securities in a supplement to this prospectus. The prospectus supplement will also indicate whether the general terms and provisions described in this
prospectus apply to a particular series of debt securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have summarized herein certain terms and provisions of the Indenture. The
summary is not complete. The Indenture is incorporated by reference to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. You should read the Indenture for the provisions which may be important to you. The Indenture is subject to and
governed by the Trust&nbsp;Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and the laws of the state of New York. We have also included references in parentheses to certain sections of the Indenture. Because this section is a summary, it does not describe every
aspect of the debt securities. This summary is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to all the provisions of the Indenture, including definitions of certain terms used in the Indenture. </P>

or more global securities representing the entire issuance of securities. Certificated securities in definitive form and global securities will be issued in registered form. Definitive securities name you or your nominee as the owner of the
security, and in order to transfer or exchange these securities or to receive payments other than interest or other interim payments, you or your nominee must physically deliver the securities to the trustee, registrar, paying agent or other agent,
as applicable. Global securities name a depositary or its nominee as the owner of the debt securities, warrants or units represented by these global securities. The depositary maintains a computerized system that will reflect each investor&#146;s
beneficial ownership of the securities through an account maintained by the investor with its broker/dealer, bank, trust company or other representative, as we explain more fully below. </P>

that depositary or nominee. In those cases, one or more registered global securities will be issued in a denomination or aggregate denominations equal to the portion of the aggregate principal or face amount of the securities to be represented by
registered global securities. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole for securities in definitive registered form, a registered global security may not be transferred except as a whole by and among the depositary for the registered global

participants, that have accounts with the depositary or persons that may hold interests through participants. Upon the issuance of a registered global security, the depositary will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the
participants&#146; accounts with the respective principal or face amounts of the securities beneficially owned by the participants. Any dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the securities will designate the accounts
to be credited. Ownership of beneficial interests in a registered global security will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary, with respect to interests of
participants, and on the records of participants, with respect to interests of persons holding through participants. The laws of some states may require that some purchasers of securities take physical delivery of these securities in definitive
form. These laws may impair your ability to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in registered global securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">So long as the

securities represented by the registered global security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the securities in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders of the securities
under the applicable Indenture, warrant agreement, guaranteed trust preferred security or unit agreement. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a registered global security must rely on the procedures of the depositary for that
registered global security and, if that person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which the person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the applicable Indenture, warrant agreement, guaranteed

action that a holder is entitled to give or take under the applicable Indenture, warrant agreement, guaranteed trust preferred security or unit agreement, the depositary for the registered global

may be, as the registered owner of the registered global security. Neither we, the trustee, the warrant agents, the unit agents or any other agent of ours, the trustee, the warrant agents, the unit agents or any agent of an agent will have any

ownership interests. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We expect that the depositary for any of the securities represented by a registered global security, upon receipt of
any payment of principal, premium, interest or other distribution of underlying securities or other property to holders on that registered global security, will immediately credit participants&#146; accounts in amounts proportionate to their
respective beneficial interests in that registered global security as shown on the records of the depositary. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security held through participants
will be governed by standing customer instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with the securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in &#147;street name,&#148; and will be the responsibility of those

depositary gives to the relevant trustee, warrant agent, unit agent or other relevant agent of ours or theirs. It is expected that the depositary&#146;s instructions will be based upon directions received by the depositary from participants with

completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the

of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Section&nbsp;1742 of the BCL provides that in the case of actions by or in the right of the corporation, a
corporation may indemnify any such persons only against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action and only if such person acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, provided that no such indemnification is permitted in respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person is adjudged liable for negligence or
misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation, except to the extent that a court determines that indemnification is proper under the circumstances. The BCL further provides under Section&nbsp;1743 that to the extent that such person
has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defending any action (even one on behalf of the corporation), he is entitled to indemnification for expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such
action. In addition, Section&nbsp;1745 provides that expenses incurred by an officer, director, employee or agent in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such
action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. </P>

arising from any claim made against them on account of any alleged &#147;wrongful act&#148; in their official capacity. A wrongful act is defined as &#147;any breach of any duty, neglect, error, misstatement, misleading statement, omission or other
