The North Face Ocean Blue and Military Olive 1996 Retro Nuptse Down Jacket – 700-Fill Wide-Baffle Two-Tone Stand Collar Orange Zip No Hood

The North Face Down Jacket – Ocean Blue and Military Olive 1996 Retro Nuptse 700-Fill Wide-Baffle Two-Tone Stand Collar Heritage Silhouette

One of the most technical and outdoors-rooted colourways in The North Face retro archive, the The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Down Jacket in bold Ocean Blue and Military Olive delivers the Nuptse’s iconic 700-fill heritage construction in the most rugged and expedition-referencing two-tone palette in the Retro Nuptse lineup — combining a deep ocean blue body and sleeves with a military olive upper chest, stand collar, and shoulders, a large embroidered white TNF logo on the left chest, a signature orange leather TNF zip pull, a yellow-green “700” sleeve cuff identifier, elastic-finish cuffs, and tonal details throughout — in a clean, hood-free silhouette that channels The North Face’s expedition heritage in one of the most visually striking and technical-feeling colour combinations in the entire Nuptse archive.

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 a yellow-green “700” fill-power identifier embroidered at the blue sleeve cuff as a high-visibility specification marker on the deep blue shell
• Wide Horizontal Baffle Construction – Original 1996 Nuptse Heritage Architecture – The Nuptse’s iconic wide horizontal baffle quilting across the ocean blue 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 deep blue exterior, the bold baffle shadow lines adding depth and dimension to the saturated blue body
• Ocean Blue and Military Olive Two-Tone Colour-Block – Expedition Archive Palette – A deep ocean blue body and sleeves with a military olive upper chest, collar, and shoulder panel — the most rugged and technically referencing two-tone combination in the Retro Nuptse archive, the blue and olive pairing delivering a bold, expedition-rooted colour presence that reads as equally powerful in streetwear, technical outdoor, and everyday premium casual contexts and provides one of the most distinctive and high-contrast colourways in the heritage Nuptse lineup
• Military Olive Stand Collar – Hood-Free Expedition Silhouette – A military olive stand collar without an attached hood — delivering the Nuptse’s defining upper-body colour-block in a hood-free format that keeps the collar as the primary accent element against the deep blue body, the olive collar continuing into the upper chest and shoulder panel to complete the two-tone expedition-palette architecture
• Large Embroidered TNF Logo – Left Chest Statement Branding – An oversized embroidered The North Face logo in white on the left chest — positioned at the olive upper chest panel for maximum-contrast brand identification, the large embroidery scale establishing this jacket’s bold graphic presence and giving the blue-and-olive palette its defining visual anchor at the chest
• Signature Orange Leather TNF Zip Pull – Heritage Expedition Detail – An orange leather zip pull with The North Face logo printed in black — the jacket’s most distinctive detail element, the orange leather pull providing a warm accent colour against both the blue body and olive collar while referencing TNF’s classic expedition gear hardware specification and adding a premium, tactile quality to the zip closure
• Yellow-Green 700 Cuff Identifier – High-Visibility Specification Marker – A yellow-green “700” fill-power identifier embroidered at the blue sleeve cuff — confirming the jacket’s 700-fill-power premium insulation specification in a high-visibility yellow-green execution that adds a further accent colour to the blue-and-olive palette and reinforces the jacket’s technical outdoor identity at the cuff
• Elastic-Finish Cuffs – Clean Wrist Closure – Gathered elastic-finish cuffs at the sleeve ends in ocean blue — providing a snug, seal-forming wrist closure that prevents cold air intrusion at the sleeve termination in a clean, toggle-free elastic format that maintains the jacket’s streamlined hood-free silhouette through to the cuff
