The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Down Jacket

The Original. In Orange.

The The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Down Jacket in Flame Orange is the reissue of the jacket that started everything — the original boxy, hip-length Nuptse silhouette faithfully reproduced in one of its most iconic and high-impact colourways: Flame Orange with a black upper yoke. Large horizontal baffles, high-fill-power down insulation, the TNF chest logo on the black panel, and the official TNF hang tag and carry bag confirm this as the real thing. This is the Nuptse in the colourway that gets noticed. Every time.

Key Features

• Flame Orange & Black Colourblock – A bold Flame Orange lower body with a black upper yoke and stand collar — one of the most striking and recognisable colourways in TNF history, the Nuptse colourblock that commands attention in any setting
• Original 1996 Nuptse Silhouette – The boxy, oversized, hip-length Nuptse cut reproduced faithfully from the 1996 original — the silhouette that defined a generation of outerwear and has never needed an update because nothing has improved on it
• TNF Chest Logo on Black Yoke – The embroidered The North Face box logo on the black upper yoke — white on black, at the exact placement of the original 1996 Nuptse, the brand mark that confirms this is the genuine article
• High-Fill-Power Down Insulation – Premium high-fill-power down throughout the full baffle body delivers genuine expedition-grade warmth — the insulation performance that made the original Nuptse a trusted high-altitude piece before it became a streetwear icon
• Large Horizontal Baffle Construction – The Nuptse’s signature large horizontal baffles distribute down fill evenly across the jacket body for consistent all-over warmth — the baffle construction that is as much a design signature as a technical feature
• Official TNF Hang Tag & Carry Bag – Comes with the official The North Face hang tag and black TNF carry bag — the product packaging and documentation that confirm authenticity and make this the complete, brand-new Nuptse experience from first unboxing
• Zip Hand Pockets – Clean zip-secure hand pockets at the hip provide secure everyday storage — functional and unfussy, exactly as the original Nuptse always has been
• Elasticated Cuffs & Hem – Elasticated cuffs and hem seal in warmth at the jacket’s openings and define the Nuptse’s signature hip-length silhouette

Flame Orange. Black upper. 1996 Nuptse silhouette — The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Down Jacket is the original that never stopped turning heads.
