The North Face White 1996 Retro Nuptse Hooded Down Jacket – 700-Fill Black Colour-Block Wide-Baffle

The North Face Down Jacket – White 1996 Retro Nuptse Hooded 700-Fill Wide-Baffle Black Colour-Block Heritage Silhouette

The cleanest and most minimal colourway in The North Face retro archive, the The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Hooded Down Jacket in pristine White with black colour-block hood, collar, and upper chest delivers the Nuptse’s iconic 700-fill heritage construction in a sharp, high-contrast two-tone palette that combines the warmth and commanding volume of the original 1996 Nuptse silhouette with a clean white-on-black presentation that reads as equally at home in streetwear, resort, and luxury casual contexts. Insulated with 700-fill-power down throughout the Nuptse’s signature wide-baffle construction, this jacket delivers the maximum warmth-to-weight performance of the classic Nuptse format in an all-white exterior with black hood and upper chest panel, a black-lined interior with internal zip pocket, velcro-adjustable cuffs, and the original black TNF storage bag — the definitively clean and versatile Nuptse colourway for collectors who want the heritage silhouette in its most minimal and adaptable palette.

Key Features

• 700-Fill-Power Down Insulation – Nuptse Premier Warmth Specification – Premium 700-fill-power goose down insulation throughout the jacket’s wide-baffle construction — the Retro Nuptse’s premium insulation rating delivering exceptional loft volume and warmth-to-weight performance that fills the Nuptse’s wide baffles to their maximum thermal capacity for serious cold-weather warmth, with the 700 fill-power identifier embroidered in tonal silver-white at the sleeve cuff as a precise specification marker on the white exterior
• Wide Horizontal Baffle Construction – Original 1996 Nuptse Heritage Architecture – The Nuptse’s iconic wide horizontal baffle quilting across the body and sleeves — the defining structural and visual element of the 1996 Nuptse silhouette, the wide baffles filled to their full 700-fill loft volume creating the Nuptse’s commanding three-dimensional presence across the white exterior, the baffle shadow lines providing the white jacket’s primary surface texture and the only tonal variation on its clean, monochromatic body
• Black Hooded Construction – 1996 Retro Heritage Hood – A full attached hood in black — providing maximum head and face coverage in cold weather while delivering the jacket’s most dominant colour-block element, the all-black hood and collar creating the precise white-body / black-upper two-tone contrast that makes this white colourway one of the most visually clean and striking in the Retro Nuptse collection, the hood’s black colour continuing from the collar and upper chest panel for a unified upper-body colour-block architecture
• White and Black Two-Tone Colour-Block – The Cleanest Nuptse Colourway – Pristine white across the jacket body and sleeves with a black hood, collar, and upper chest panel — the most minimal and versatile two-tone combination in the Retro Nuptse collection, the white-and-black pairing delivering a high-contrast, season-transcending palette that pairs with any outfit colour and reads as premium and considered rather than seasonal or trend-specific, making this the most wardrobe-adaptable colourway in the entire Retro Nuptse lineup
• Black Interior Lining with Internal Zip Pocket – Tonal Interior Architecture – A fully black-lined interior across the jacket body with a single internal zip pocket — providing a dramatic contrast reveal when the white exterior is opened, the black lining continuing the jacket’s two-tone architecture from the exterior into the interior and providing secure storage for essentials within the jacket’s warm interior insulation zone via the internal zip pocket
• Black TNF Logo Badge – Left Chest – The iconic The North Face logo badge in black on the left chest, positioned at the colour-block boundary between the white body and the black upper chest panel — providing precise brand identification in the restrained black-on-black-panel execution that confirms the jacket’s authentic TNF Nuptse specification while maintaining the white colourway’s overall clean and minimal visual register
• Velcro-Adjustable Cuffs – Heritage Wrist Closure – Velcro tab-adjustable cuffs in white at the sleeve ends — providing a precise wrist seal against cold air intrusion at the sleeve termination in the heritage velcro cuff format of the original 1996 Nuptse specification, the white velcro tab maintaining the jacket’s clean white exterior through to the cuff detail
• Original TNF Black Packable Storage Bag – Collector-Grade Presentation – Includes the original black The North Face packable storage bag with gold TNF logo — providing a dedicated carry and storage solution for the jacket when compressed, the branded black storage bag echoing the jacket’s black colour-block elements and confirming the jacket’s authentic The North Face retail presentation and collector-grade unboxing specification
