The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Down Jacket — Burgundy

The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Down Jacket — Burgundy

Burgundy is the Nuptse at its most richly considered — a colourway that takes the jacket's iconic oversized baffles and thirty-year heritage and wraps them in the deep, wine-dark warmth of a colour that has always understood the relationship between cold weather and comfort, between the mountain and the fireside, between the functional and the quietly, unmistakably beautiful. Where black is absolute and the retro colourways are bold, burgundy is something more particular: it is the colour of a jacket that has been chosen rather than reached for, worn by someone who knows exactly what they want and has found it in the precise, considered depth of this colourway on this silhouette. The 1996 Retro Nuptse in Burgundy. Nothing else comes close.

Product Highlights

• 700-fill goose down insulation for exceptional warmth-to-weight performance — the same specification that made the original 1996 Nuptse one of the most capable and culturally significant down jackets ever produced
• Iconic 1996 Retro silhouette in burgundy — the original's oversized baffles and precisely proportioned puffer design in the deep, richly considered colourway that gives the Nuptse its most warm, distinctive and quietly luxurious expression
• Packable design — compresses into its own pocket for effortless portability, carrying the Nuptse's full warmth and cultural authority in its most richly characterful colourway
• The North Face heritage branding — the half-dome logo and Nuptse wordmark in a colourway that elevates the jacket's thirty-year heritage with the depth, warmth and considered distinction that only burgundy can bring to the Nuptse's iconic silhouette
• Authentic 1996 Retro construction and detailing — faithfully restored from the original, in the colourway that gives the Nuptse its most seasonal, most personal and most richly rewarding expression

Styling Tips

Burgundy rewards a considered, tonal approach more than almost any other colourway in the Nuptse range — over a chocolate or caramel knit with straight dark brown or black jeans and tan leather boots or clean white trainers for a deeply warm, richly tonal winter look where the Nuptse's burgundy leads with quiet, unhurried authority, or wear over a cream or oatmeal knit with straight mid-blue jeans and clean white leather trainers for a softer, more contrasting look that lets the burgundy Nuptse's deep, wine-dark warmth set the tone for the entire outfit with the kind of effortless, considered ease that the best colourways on the best jackets always produce.
