The North Face Down Jacket – Sand Beige 1996 Retro Nuptse Hooded 700-Fill Wide-Baffle Khaki Tone-on-Tone Heritage Silhouette

The most refined and monochromatically sophisticated colourway in The North Face retro archive, the The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Hooded Down Jacket in warm Sand Beige with a tone-on-tone deep khaki collar and upper chest delivers the Nuptse’s iconic 700-fill heritage construction in the most understated and premium-feeling palette in the Retro Nuptse lineup — combining a soft sand beige exterior across the body and sleeves with a deeper khaki collar and upper chest panel, a warm camel-toned interior with internal zip pocket, 700-fill-power down throughout the wide-baffle quilted silhouette, velcro-adjustable elastic cuffs with a tonal gold 700 fill-power embroidery, a gold-tone TNF logo badge on the left chest, and the original black TNF storage bag — the definitively warm, tonal, and luxury-casual colourway in the entire Retro Nuptse collection.

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 for serious cold-weather warmth, with the 700 fill-power identifier embroidered in tonal gold at the sleeve cuff — a rare metallic-gold embroidery finish that makes this colourway uniquely premium in the Retro Nuptse lineup
• 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 sand beige exterior, with deep baffle shadow lines that give the warm sandy shell its characteristic dimensional richness and heritage silhouette presence
• Deep Khaki Tone-on-Tone Hood and Collar – Monochromatic Heritage Architecture – A full attached hood and collar in a deeper shade of warm khaki — delivering the Nuptse’s defining upper-body silhouette in a tone-on-tone execution that replaces the high-contrast black upper panel of most Retro Nuptse colourways with a sophisticated, monochromatic warm-beige pairing, the khaki hood and collar darkening the upper body while maintaining the jacket’s entirely warm-toned identity from collar to cuff
• Sand Beige and Deep Khaki Tone-on-Tone Palette – Monochromatic Luxury Archive Colourway – Warm sand beige across the jacket body and sleeves with a deep khaki hood and upper chest panel — the most monochromatic and tonally sophisticated two-shade combination in the Retro Nuptse collection, the warm beige-to-khaki palette delivering a muted, luxurious colour presence that reads as premium and restrained in streetwear, luxury casual, and resort contexts, providing the most versatile and wardrobe-adaptable colourway in the heritage Retro Nuptse lineup
• Warm Camel Interior Lining with Internal Zip Pocket – Fully Tonal Interior Architecture – A warm camel-toned interior lining across the jacket body with a single internal zip pocket — continuing the jacket’s entirely warm-toned palette from the exterior into the lining for a fully unified monochromatic architecture, the camel interior providing a rich, warm reveal when the sand beige exterior is opened and offering secure storage for essentials via the internal zip pocket
• Gold-Tone TNF Logo Badge – Left Chest – The iconic The North Face logo badge in a tonal gold-on-khaki execution on the left chest, positioned at the colour-block boundary between the sand beige body and the khaki upper chest panel — providing brand identification in a restrained, premium tonal finish that maintains the jacket’s monochromatic warm palette and elevates the colourway’s luxury-casual register
• Velcro-Adjustable Cuffs with Elastic Finish – Heritage Wrist Closure – Velcro tab-adjustable cuffs with a gathered elastic finish at the sleeve ends in sand beige — providing a precise wrist seal against cold air intrusion at the sleeve termination, the tonal velcro tab and elastic cuff gathering maintaining the jacket’s warm sandy exterior palette through to the cuff’s most detailed element
• 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 providing the only true black accent in this otherwise entirely warm-toned colourway and confirming the jacket’s authentic The North Face retail presentation
