The North Face Down Jacket – Evergreen 1996 Retro Nuptse Hooded 700-Fill Wide-Baffle Black Colour-Block Asian Relaxed Fit Heritage Silhouette
One of the most richly toned and nature-referencing colourways in The North Face retro archive, the The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Hooded Down Jacket in deep saturated Evergreen with black colour-block hood, collar, and upper chest delivers the Nuptse’s iconic 700-fill heritage construction in the most lush and premium green colourway in the Retro Nuptse seasonal lineup — combining a saturated botanical green exterior across the body and sleeves with a black hood, collar, and upper chest panel, a black-lined interior with internal zip pocket, 700-fill Responsible Down Standard certified insulation throughout the wide-baffle quilted silhouette, elastic-finished cuffs, a white TNF logo badge on the left chest, and the original black TNF storage bag — in an Asian Relaxed Fit specification that delivers the Nuptse’s heritage volume in a proportionally optimised cut for Asian sizing.
Key Features
- 700-Fill Responsible Down Standard Certified Insulation – Nuptse Premium Ethical Warmth – 700-fill-power goose down insulation certified to the Responsible Down Standard (RDS) throughout the jacket’s wide-baffle construction — the Retro Nuptse’s premium insulation specification combining exceptional warmth-to-weight performance and maximum loft volume with certified ethical and responsible sourcing, the 700 fill-power identifier embroidered at the sleeve cuff as a specification marker on the evergreen 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 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 evergreen exterior, with deep baffle shadow lines at every horizontal seam that emphasise the jacket’s rich botanical green depth and define its heritage silhouette
- 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 evergreen-body / black-upper two-tone contrast that frames the face and defines the jacket’s architectural identity, the hood’s black continuing from the collar and upper chest panel for a unified upper-body colour-block
- Evergreen and Black Two-Tone Colour-Block – Premium Botanical Archive Palette – Deep saturated evergreen across the jacket body and sleeves with a black hood, collar, and upper chest panel — the most richly toned and nature-referencing colour combination in the Retro Nuptse’s seasonal palette, the botanical green delivering a premium, earthy colour statement that reads as equally at home in outdoor, streetwear, and luxury casual contexts and provides a sophisticated alternative to the Nuptse’s brighter seasonal colourways
- 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 — continuing the black colour-block from the exterior hood and collar into the jacket’s interior lining, the black interior providing a high-contrast reveal when the evergreen exterior is opened and offering secure storage for essentials via the internal zip pocket
- White TNF Logo Badge – Left Chest – The iconic The North Face logo badge in white on the left chest, positioned at the colour-block boundary between the evergreen body and the black upper chest panel — delivering maximum-contrast brand identification in white against both the green and black panels, consistent with the original 1996 Nuptse design specification
- Elastic-Finished Cuffs – Clean Wrist Closure – Gathered elastic-finish cuffs at the sleeve ends in evergreen — 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 exterior silhouette through to the cuff
- Asian Relaxed Fit – Proportionally Optimised Heritage Volume – Cut in an Asian Relaxed Fit specification — delivering the Nuptse’s iconic heritage volume and wide-baffle presence in a proportionally calibrated sizing that optimises the jacket’s relaxed silhouette for Asian body proportions, providing the authentic 1996 Nuptse volume and fit without oversizing
- 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 storage bag confirming the jacket’s authentic The North Face retail presentation and collector-grade unboxing specification
