The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Down Jacket – Burgundy

The Original. In Its Most Individual Colour.

The The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Down Jacket in Burgundy is the 1996 Retro Nuptse for those who know exactly what they want — and want it in a colour that says so. The same expedition-proven warmth, the same iconic quilted panel construction, the same boxy silhouette that changed outerwear permanently. In burgundy, it becomes something more personal: a colourway with depth, richness, and a quiet confidence that the safe choices simply cannot match.

Burgundy. The Nuptse for Those Who Choose It.

Anyone can wear black. Burgundy is a decision — a colour chosen by people who understand that the most individual thing you can do with an iconic silhouette is refuse the obvious answer. On the 1996 Retro Nuptse, burgundy does something that black, for all its authority, never quite manages: it gives the jacket warmth in both senses of the word. The deep, wine-toned richness of a great burgundy reads differently against autumn and winter light, sits differently in a wardrobe, and pairs differently with every layer underneath it — always with more personality, always with more intention. This is the Nuptse as a statement of individual taste rather than collective consensus. The North Face since 1966. The Nuptse, since 1996. Burgundy, for those who choose it.
