The North Face Nuptse High Pile Jacket (TNF Black) is a modern reinterpretation of a 1996 icon, combining the down-filled Nuptse with the plush texture of a high pile. The silhouette retains the classic, boxy construction and provides solid fall/winter warmth, but emphasizes a distinct texture and urban feel. This seasonal variation on the Nuptse line emphasizes recycled 600-fill down and durable shoulder panels. Available for purchase at Aplug—every piece is verified for authenticity and shipped deadstock in its original packaging .

The Nuptse DNA is evident in the wide, horizontal down baffles, high collar, and center zipper, but the body and sleeves are covered in soft, fuzzy sherpa/high-pile for a warmer, lifestyle feel. Contrasting, smooth nylon panels on the shoulders and collar (yoke) in TNF Black enhance abrasion resistance from backpack straps and add a technical balance to the plush body. This is a lifestyle and technical jacket for cool days in the city: non-PFC DWR protects against drizzle and light snow, but it won't replace a membrane in a downpour. Embroidered TNF logos on the chest and back emphasize the classic look, giving the overall piece a chunky, street-ready feel.

The plush texture and boxy cut work best with heavier bottoms and chunky footwear. In your everyday rotation, pair it with denim, cargo pants, and hiking boots or sturdy sneakers ; smooth fabrics (cotton, twill) balance the shaggy finish. For a striking contrast of textures, add a beanie and a plain hoodie underneath; for cooler weather, a thick sweater or lightweight fleece will work well. TNF Black makes it easy to create a monochrome look or play on details—a silver zipper, metal hardware, and leather accents enhance the technical tone.

What makes The North Face Nuptse High Pile Jacket (TNF Black) special?

• High-pile (sherpa) on the body and sleeves – traps a layer of air close to the body and provides pleasant, plush warmth; visually distinguishes the style.
• 600 fill recycled waterfowl down – natural 600 fill down provides real insulation at a reasonable weight; the recycled version has a smaller environmental footprint.
• Nylon yoke with non-PFC DWR – smooth, reinforcing panels on the shoulders and collar better withstand rubbing from a backpack and repel light moisture (this is not a rain membrane).
• Classic, wide Nuptse baffles – the boxy design makes layering easy and enhances the street style without restricting movement.
• High, contoured collar + VISLON zipper – quick fastening and neck coverage; zipper garage limits metal contact with skin.
• Embroidered TNF logos – durable branding on the chest and back, easy to read for fans of the brand’s outdoor heritage.
• Moderate packability – the down is compressible, but the high pile adds volume, so the model is better as an everyday jacket than a backpack jacket.
• Simple but conscious care – gentle washing and drying with balls helps restore the down’s loft; be careful with the temperature due to the high-pile fibers.

How to choose the right size for The North Face Nuptse High Pile Jacket (TNF Black)?

The fit is relaxed/boxy and typically falls True to Size for a classic, slightly oversized look. If you prefer a more fitted look or wear mostly thin layers underneath, consider going down a size . If you plan on wearing thick sweaters or an additional down layer, go up a size . Keep in mind that high-pile adds bulk and doesn't lay as flat as smooth ripstop.
