The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket (TNF Black) is a reissue of the iconic 1996 Retro down jacket, bringing back the shape and character of the '90s in a refreshed, more responsible version. The design blends TNF's technical DNA with urban streetwear, making it suitable for both everyday commutes and winter conditions. If you appreciate tried-and-true archival styles and want to add a distinctively shaped down jacket to your rotation, this is the jacket for you. At Aplug, each piece is verified for authenticity and shipped deadstock in its original box .

This cropped, boxy jacket features distinct, wide down baffles, designed for real winter and everyday city life. A matte-shiny recycled ripstop in the TNF Black colorway, a high collar with a sewn-in, three-part hood, and an exposed VISLON® zipper create a substantial silhouette, while embroidered TNF logos on the chest and shoulder complete the archival look. Discreet lower zip pockets, hook-and-loop adjustable cuffs, and a drawcord hem with an internal drawcord secure the wind, while the design packs into the right pocket —perfect for travel and quick changes of plans.

This boxy '90s down jacket works best with looser proportions and a clean texture. Pair it with a wide-bottomed or cargo jacket, a thick hoodie, or a fleece layer underneath, and chunkier sneakers or hiking boots—the silhouette captures a cohesive, outdoor-core vibe. For a minimal look: black tech pants, a beanie, and TNF Black as a monochrome look; for travel: cuffed sweatpants and low-tops, as the jacket packs down into a comfortable, compact layer.

• Packable construction – packs into the right pocket to reduce bulk during transport; perfect for commuting and flights.

How to choose the right size for The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket (TNF Black)?

This model is true to size with a relaxed/boxy fit and has room for layering. If you plan to wear very thick items underneath (heavy fleece, a thick sweater, an additional puffer), consider size +1 . For a slimmer, less "puffy" look, you can go down a size, but ease of movement will decrease and the jacket will lose some of its intended '90s shape.
